20 Answers

27a Early arrival having nosy look around front of mansion? (5)
PREM _ ?

14a Male playwright, one eclipsed by female one (5)
_ EHAN (presumably BEHAN) but why?

33a Nameless one with this may represent Eeyorism! (6)
M_SERY (misery = eeyorism) but why "nameless one"?

13a Copying an ant, but without resentment (5)
APIS _ ? (presumably APISH -copying) Pish = resentment therefore how does the "ant" figure?

9d Refrain entering a turnstile –encouragement for one of ladies’ team? (8)
AT _ AGIR _ (Obviously ATTAGIRL = the second part, but why refrain entering a turnstile? "air"??

Also is "Reechie" an alternate version of "reechy" as "reechie" parses an answer perfectly as long as it is a word!

Many thanks

Ozzy - Thanks - I thought of Premy (I had "pry" around M) but could not parse the E! Is "prey" an archaic version of "pry"?

Question Author

Also 4d Battle conclusion: not dead finally –relax (6)
LOO _ _ N
I have Loosen (relax) = (water)loo + sen (I can't parse the "sen"?

prey on something can mean pry, observe, sneak up on, etc.

27a is EM (the first letter of 'mansion') in PRY
13a is A PISMIRE ('an ant') less IRE ('resentment')
9d is TAG ('[a] refrain') in A TIRL ('turnstile')
