Has anyone done this week's TLS crossword? I'm stuck on 5ac (?O?L?S) and 22down (A?E?D). I'd be grateful for answers and explanations, please. I've exhausted all my aids.
Thanks.

"WAKEY WAKEY" Coppins Crew.

We are still waiting for you to post the clues.

I'm stuck on those two, as well.

5a His Missionary would hardly be the one portrayed by Greene (6)

21d Field offering for ladies. (5)

I have the same intersecting letters as coppinscrew.

Hi, Folks!
I have now discovered the answers. 5a is BOWLES, as in Paul, who wrote a story called 'The Pastor'.
22d is AMENDS. One Nathan Field wrote a comedy (1610) called 'Amends for Ladies'.
Thanks for your help and interest.
And thank you for the answers Coppins Crew, I would have got there eventually, but its nice to get some help sometimes !

Sorry, CSIambleside! 22d is 'AMEND' not 'AMENDS'. I expect you spotted my slip anyway. All the best.
Thanks Coppins Crew, I did. By the way, can you link your answer to 5ac to Graham Greene in any way, as suggested by the clue ?
There's a character in The Power And The Glory, simply called The Priest and he's a " whiskey priest " who's fathered a son.

So if the pastor in the other story is particularly pious, then I suppose he would " hardly be the one portrayed by Greene "
I'm also stuck on 23a:
The rocks remained to mark his continued history (5)
O?T?R

Is it OTTER? And if so, can anyone throw any light on the clue, please?
Hi rapparee - yes - Otter - its one of the Ring of Bright Water novels
