Getting on with ace Baptist, excitable Italian (1,3,4,2)
I believe the answer is:
a bit past it
'getting on' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'ace baptist excitable italian' is the wordplay.
'ace' becomes 'a' (abbreviation).
'excitable' indicates an anagram (letters excited or stimulated).
'italian' becomes 'it' (abbreviation for Italian).
'baptist' is an anagram of 'bitpast'.
'a'+'bitpast'+'it'='A BIT PAST IT'
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
