Although encouraged by kind comments to set another puzzle, Yimin’s hapless proof-reading persists.  Four clues are missing completely and 24 have a misprint in the definition.  Correct letters in clue order spell out an instruction which will lead to a quotation being found.  The title of the work from which the quotation is drawn must be written beneath the grid.  The quotation and the settings of the work should enable solvers to complete the fill.
