Draw and convey how a servant may act (5,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
fetch and carry
'a servant may act' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'draw and convey' is the wordplay.
'draw' becomes 'fetch' (synonyms).
'convey' becomes 'carry' (carrying is a kind of conveying).
'fetch'+'and'+'carry'='FETCH AND CARRY'
'how' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fetch and carry that I've seen before include "Perform menial tasks" , "Perform humble services for someone - rather fancy CD (anag)" .)
