Some odd clues in today's mail. Have finished it but can't parse some. For example 25A. 'Prophet is vey different, for example, indoors' (10). The answer seems to be 'Soothsayer'. But how does it...
Strange new word (to me at least) in today's Mail crossword.
8D. Drone lamentably during your old mournful song (8). I've got 'threnode'. Any one else got that?...
Have finished today's Mail crossword, but can't parse 1A so I may have it wrong. 1A. Lender's new benchmark restricting hill-dweller (8,4). M*R*H*N* B*N*. I've got 'marching band', but it doesn't make...
22A. Without female escort, granny gets tense still (8). *T*G*A*T. All I can come up with is STAGNANT, meaning 'still'. Can't parse the rest, though. Any ideas?
Stuck on two today. 16A. Animal's mama evolved with regular portions of milk (6). *A*M*L. 23D. Business function obstructs a festival (6). *F*A*R. The only word I can think of that fits is 'affair',...
Try to sell French newspaper for everyone. (4,2,5).

27A. Desert a party in NI river (7). A*A*D*N. Had thought it should be 'Arabian' but I'm pretty sure the D is correct (for 19D I've got 'Stardom' and the 17A link in the clue is 'Darts')
19A. What's left, say, in US city and its suburbs (6) L*G*C*. I'm assuming 20D is 'GRUMBLE', giving the G in 19A, but I may be wrong there. The clue for 20D is: 'Good to discover beef' (7).
