Stuck on the last four which must be quite archaic. Answers with parsing if possible would be appreciated. Thanks!
DOWN:
4. Played like Donegan when light rain is over Germany. (8) : ?K?F?L?D
17. Thin, achy and upset? A flower is needed. (8): ??A?A?T?
18. Wearing a close-fitting garment with the central casing removed and settled inside. (8) :
??R?F?E?
19. It illuminates the South in Georgia and Louisiana at melting-point. (3,4): ?A?/I?M?

Glad we could help, Matakari. I think you led yourself astray, thinking the answers were going to be archaic!
Question Author
Yes, I was a bit rash in thinking the answers were archaic. I have to be more patient. I should have got the anagram for 17!
