Do as told (4)
I believe the answer is:
obey
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">do as told</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for obey that I've seen before include "Carry out (a command)" , "Do as you're told!" , "Carry out (orders)" , "Hear" , "Take orders" .)
