A fair night's rest? (3,5,2,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
the sleep of the just
'a fair night's rest?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'fair night's rest?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'fair' could be 'just' (synonyms) and 'just' is found in the answer.
'rest?' could be 'sleep' ('sleep' can be a synonym of 'rest') and 'sleep' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
