CROSSWORD NO. 38

HOW IT’S DONE: The puzzle will already be familiar to crossword enthusiasts,

although the British style may be unusual as crossword grids vary in appearance from

country to country. Novices should note that the idea is to fill the white squares with

letters to make words determined by the sometimes cryptic clues to the right. The

numbers after each clue tell you how many letters are in the answer. All spellings are

UK English. Good luck!
