My parsing was – i.e. ‘longs in’; ref sin(2)

The review omits 5D LEGENDIST (END in LEGIST)

Re 7D BONSELLA I believe this should be SELL in BONA

(in which case the -CE bit would have to mean NOW – “not now” – but I can’t see why, so my theory is probably all wrong)

Just too wilfully obscure too often. However, I can explain 33. It’s LONG SIN Spenserian (again!) for a long time ago (listed in Chambers under sin) and the play is LONGS = trousers and IN = stocked.
