What makes that man beam about end of scheme - future possibilities? (9)
I believe the answer is:
hereafter
'scheme future possibilities?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'what makes that man beam about end' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'man' could be 'he' (he refers to a man) and 'he' is present in the answer.
'about' could be 'rea' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'rea' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hereafter that I've seen before include "Life in the future" , "In subsequent parts of legal document" , "Hence" .)
