As always, I enjoy matching wits with these (for me) challenging cryptics. I was a little chagrined to see the "gentle" rating, as it took me a long time to get any sort of traction, and even though my pace picked up as the grid filled, there was one entry I just couldn't get (8d) and two clues that remained opaque (22a and 26a). I need to be better at recognizing anagram signals, like "dispel," "what may be," "with a whip" and remember to look for hidden answers (26a).
