Regarding the 42-Down clue, Marie Lafarge was an actual person found guilty of murdering her husband; Madame Defarge was a fictional character—and knitter—in Charles Dickens's "A Tale of Two Cities."
Perhaps Dickens named the fictitious Madame Defarge after the actual Madame Lafarge, but in any case, this clue seems to be a mistake; left it as in the original, though.
