Escape with roll of cloth (4)
I believe the answer is:
bolt
This clue is a double definition.
'escape' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'roll of cloth' is the second definition.
(historical fabric measure)
'with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for bolt that I've seen before include "Lock - run away - gobble - lightning flash - cloth roll" , "Leave suddenly and in a hurry" , "Leg it < and consume apace" , "one may be shot" , "Type of lightning" .)
