Hello.
As His Nibs is back in uni, I am free to do the crossie. Well, I have been since our chat earlier. I so miss him but I know it's for the best . SWMBO tells me so regularly!!! And, as we know, she is SO wise....

I have just about finished today's puzzle but there's one clue I can't quite get the working . And another where I'm not really sure that my possible answer is correct

50d End of the short uprising, break from hostilities. The answer, I'm pretty sure is 'truce' which is the break from hostilities but I'm not clear about the working .

26 ac is the one where I'm really not sure if I've got the right word

Bear, say, getting caught in in elaborate trap, oddly. With the letters I have, the answer could well be' tetrapod', as a bear is a four legged animal. The letters I have by the way are t?t?a?o?

Help me please?
