Stuck on last 2 which hinge on each other viz 23ac (6) A Barsetshire Lady ?E???E? (I have read all of Trollope and cannot for the life of me think who this is) 24down (5) he wrote spy stories but his intentions were honourable ??A?L

Woud be most grateful for assistance

Lady Emily Leslie

Scrub that ^^^^^^^ last E's wrong!

Incidentally have discovered that Angela Thirkall writes Barsetshire novels and she has a Lady Leslie - so presumably that is the answer to that clue!

Oops - just noticed Baldric's input which seems to confirm my deduction - thanks anyway to you also
