24 No.

11 Yes.
PS Remember that the entry lengths don't necessarily match the given lengths. This relates to the thematic stuff, which you said earlier that you'd got...
T Issue T is the letter to be taken out
F ails F to be taken out
I have Ance Scots form of once as it fits with the unclued at 35a.
I 've finished it but can't seem to find the diagonal word to be shaded.
A nudge would be much appreciated.
Shaney, it took me a while to spot the highlighting. It's a short word and didn't (initially) seem as much of a noun to me!

PS Matakari said earlier that the had the first sentence of the book, so I thought he must have used the letters or forgotten about them or...
Starts last letter of 2 down and goes diagonally upwards.
Thanks very much novalis. I must know the sentence off by heart now having read it countless times.

Thanks, shaney (and congrats for the 2513 win ), Nacw and novalis, I’ve got it this time. I know the first sentence of the book by heart now and somehow thought the word to be shaded had to be “taffeta”, so I lost some time looking for it, ha, ha, ha!
Blame it on the heat Matakari :)
Have a nice weekend.
Matakari, glad you (and we!) didn't have last week's ordeal all over again!

Shaney, congratulations on your recent win. Matakari's son won last year. I now feel a little deprived!
Thanks folks.
I'll send a prayer to the crossword god for you for a win Nac :)
Thanks, Shaney. I'll let you know if there's ever anything to celebrate!
