Really struggling this week, any help would be gratefully accepted....13a Belong to pater, it turns out, in the end. ????A?N. 14a Shred the first thirteen letters ??O?. 4d Fill an opening for a locum ?T???A?. 7d Be clumsy when it comes to lying ?P???L. 10d Scratches that may mean the dog wants to come in. B???S. 20d Wake and point at.??A?R. TIA

Earn is better than erne I feel so ??A?R looks right

[fiction-factory]

I wondered if the make one ould be caws (sounds like cause) but that's the wrong way round. Maybe ERNE isn't the only option though- did you have any other letters for that?

[elliemay1]

'trail' meaning the wake of an aircraft?
Still trying to make it fit the 2nd part!

[Sparkles62]

FF the only letter that I have for Earn is the E, It comes from 23d, Stressing that it is below the interior covering, I have UNDERLINING.

[fiction-factory]

TRAIN fits both parts of the clue i think
- in its wake/train;
formal to aim or point a gun, camera, light, etc. at someone or something

20d Train?

1.could describe something following as in a wake of a ship?
2.could describe a point of focus as in train the eyes?

A bit tenuous . . . ?

[fiction-factory]

Train looks good- so would train fit with erne?

[Sparkles62]

Thank-you so much , you have all been fantastic, I will go with ERNE and TRAIN.

[Sparkles62]

Yes FF it fits perfectly.
