Confess to upsetting the maid at the end of the street (5)
I believe the answer is:
admit
'confess to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'upsetting the maid at the end of the street' is the wordplay.
'upsetting' is an anagram indicator.
'at the end of' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'street' is 't'.
'maid' anagrammed gives 'admi'.
'admi'+'t'='ADMIT'
(Other definitions for admit that I've seen before include "Stop being obstructive" , "Disclose" , "Accept" , "Take on" , "Allow access" .)
