Returning to the woman? Sensible, apart from that (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

otherwise

'apart from that' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'returning to the woman? sensible' is the wordplay.
'returning' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'the woman?' becomes 'her' ('her' refers to a woman).
'sensible' becomes 'wise' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to' in reverse letter order is 'ot'.
'ot'+'her'+'wise'='OTHERWISE'

(Other definitions for otherwise that I've seen before include "Differently - or else!" , "Under different conditions" , "Apart from that" , "White rose seen in a different way" , "White rose (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
