[jimby]

Thanks for the answers Calibax, mamyalynne and Wharton.

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry Calibax, I can't.

1d is contretemps. Have the same letters as you for 19d but no soln yet
22d looks like refit but can u tell me where you got the 't' from as I have a 'p' as the first letter in 12d (patrol scout). Thks

[toocute55]

This is for Calibax 22d refit. Umpire is 'ref' and object is 'it'

[Mamyalynne]

There is no 'umpire' in the clue?

[factor-fiction]

Hi toocute- is the word Umpire in the clue then? The clue was given above as
"Equip once more, making the object"

[toocute55]

THE ACTUAL CLUE WAS 'EQUIP ONCE MORE, MAKING THE UMPIRE OBJECT' the word umpire was excluded by jimby, I presume in error

[Mamyalynne]

Sorted, thank you.
