What scuppered me was that I had managed to write mannishly in with one n and two s’s What comes out of the end of my pen isn’t always what I intend, and I am now sitting in the corner with a conical hat on.

Couldn’t parse 31ac, but had no trouble with the rest. Anything in particular you had trouble with?
