    Very nice, I got a kick out of 2d and 4a

      Thanks! I would welcome a parse of EVENS.

        No problem!
        Wordplay: Number (SEVEN) front-to-back (EVENS)
        Definition: you find ONE in the even letters (EVENS) of COUNSEL
        Thanks for taking the time to solve!

          Very tricky one (particularly BRINE and EVENS), but very good!
