  Thanks for an entertaining puzzle.

  1A I haven't yet come across "in a stupor" as an anagrind; it isn't on my list.

  Wow! This is the very first cryptic I solved. True, it was with repeated checking, but even still I didn't have to reveal anything. Many thanks for explaining your clues. It helps people like me to learn the ropes.
