e?u?t? dimension

27a fuss over the final bouquet detail

4d boxes turn up with new crate shortly
??n???s

[scooping]

4 cartons ?

[fiction-factory]

fourth dimension? Not sure why though

[fiction-factory]

sounds like Forth (river) + Di mention

[cashier]

12. (L) eve (r)

[fiction-factory]

lever will be right- but I'm not sure why clue says "hands"- something like "ends" would have worked better

[fiction-factory]

I meant (l)EVE(r)

[Captain2]

Hands = Left and Right

[Captain2]

We should be able to do better than this. How sure are you of your letters in the unsolved ones creamegg? And do the two solutions give us any more letters?

[fiction-factory]

27- scene? Not sure why apart from fuss= scene

[fiction-factory]

got it- scen(t) + E
Scen is scene de-tailed
E is final letter of THE

[fiction-factory]

I meant scen is scent de-tailed

[fiction-factory]

11- could it start with HARE?

[cashier]

6. Sloshed. S spades. Lo look hut shed

[cashier]

11 second word is hat. Less cold rabbit (c) hat

[fiction-factory]

hard hat?

[cashier]

I thought that but cannot find any association between irony and hard

[fiction-factory]

iron-y
iron like
hard

[cashier]

Unless it means hard like iron the metal

[fiction-factory]

yep

[cashier]

Also thought of Pious for 4a but only from the very good angle
