Sorry - the crossword is the Daily Mail cryptic Tuesday 19 June No. 14260.
91 = xci
French for summer = ete
Add them together = excite
Excite looks right. XCI is 91 in roman numerals which leaves ETE which is French for summer - a hot season - hopefully! ;-)
Could 2d be Pelt?
Snap Infomaniac!
2d Meet
7d. Excite( Ete= French summer. eci =91)

Thanks Infomaniac and Pooka1950 for your quick and helpful replies.
2d - Meet, old work meaning fitting, suitable etc.

Thanks Fitzer. I've just checked my dictionary and that seems to the one. I'd never heard of the that interpretation before. (I learn something every day).
