Like Ilan, I couldn't make much sense of 13ac - I put in DUCK as the most likely answer but I'm sure there must be more to the clue than I'm seeing. 9dn - ST is indeed Stumped. I think "get out" is cunningly part of the definition. In 1dn, "old" seems to be doing double duty: FORDO is marked as 'archaic' in Chambers, and Azed is usually scrupulous in indicating such things (and sometimes mentions it in the Slip).
