32ac. All right, it's a lady feeling regret (4) ?TI? This (I'm fairly sure) is a clue in which the wordplay has an extra letter, in this case a K . I think the first letter is an O, while the full...

27dn Patrolling small island we keep watch for Edmund (5) I think the answer might be WAITE=W(AIT=small island)E, but how is this related to Edmund? Many thanks for any suggestions.

Is the answer to 26dn WAITE =W(AIT=small island)E, and if so who is Edmund Waite? (Google gives lots, who's the famous one?)
