I have a cryptic crossword clue and answer ... I can't see entirely how to construct the answer from the clue, and given that it's from fiction, maybe it's not kosher.

If anyone would like to DM me I can pass on the clue, provide the answer on request, and you can help me understand what's going on.

TIA.

Edit for extra information: This is allegedly from a crossword in the 1930s.

(Feel free to boost for reach)
