      Much fun! Can you explain 27 across? I see the chai...

        spoonerism of 'parry chai'

          I would have used "For the Reverend Mason, tea and dessert"

            oh, that would have been good!

            Still had to think but now I get it. Block/parry took a long time for me.

          Good puzzle! I appreciate big anagrams, so liked 1D and 7D was wonderful! I don't like "outside" as a hidden indicator; I would have said "Unicorn eats some part of an eye". In 3D is "about" supposed to apply to "be", or is the reversal unclued?

            good stuff! enjoyed the misdirections like 7D. some of the defs felt a little off in terms of part of speech agreement (like 20D), but probably a matter of style. going to go back in time and find more to solve :)
