13d. ETHERIC?

[factor-fiction]

Have you accidentally posted the template for Spheric again?
Is it book bob (assuming it's not boob job)

[dave1948]

13d is: Airy-fairy woman's book Bob lost on Jersey's turned up (7)

Not sure why epheric would be the answer. I am having a bad day all round !

[Cruciformist]

Woman's book in Bible is ESTHER, lose a Bob (=shilling, "S") so left with ETHER. Jersey is Channel Island, CI turned up, hence ETHERIC - see dictionary, airy-fairy.

It's just that SPHERIC was answered/suggested last time you asked for 13d although the clue was completely different

"13d Odd footnote:US lawyer picked up three instances,initially of Paul passing through here (7)
??H?R?C "

[dave1948]

Thank you very much Cruciformist. Please excuse my ignorance.

[dave1948]

Thank you Factor30. I got it wrong

two clues remain
2d Upset, embarassed about caution (5)
D???R

8a Habits within habits, perhaps (7)
R???A?S

3rd letter of 2d is also 3rd of 8a. Many thanks for your patience

Deter?
Rituals

[Cruciformist]

RITUALS - monks wear habits and go about daily rituals (habits)

[factor-fiction]

DEFER- it's FED up (desktop would have got that and RE up

[factor-fiction]

Forget that. I thought the embarrassed might be RED which would give DER but I can't see where the FE comes from
Or maybe about is RE but I can't see where the REF comes from.

[dave1948]

Thank you Dannyk13.

I agree with your answers.

[dannyk13]

Defer does not fit in with 3rd letter of eight across

[shooty]

could dower work (red + wo) ?

[shooty]

Drear (upset, sad) ?

embarassed about = dre (red) + ar (all risks, caution)

just a thought..
