3d Yes, 'Wash' - 'was h(ard)' -

wash - admit to testing or proof; "This silly excuse won't wash in traffic court"
stand - be in effect; be or remain in force; "The law stands!"

21d Auric (Goldfinger) - "awe Rick" (said)
4D Yes, 'Simpered' - (to) mince = (to) simper
Wash as in it won't wash (or the opposite)

Au sounds like awe Ric sounds like Rick

To mince as in the way some people walk
Apologies, "Auric Goldfinger" was the name of the villain in the Bond film
