A few upset the owner too (3,2,3)
I believe the answer is:
one or two
'a few' is the definition.
(both can mean a small amount)
'upset the owner too' is the wordplay.
'upset' is an anagram indicator.
'owner'+'too'='ownertoo'
'ownertoo' is an anagram of 'ONE OR TWO'.
(Another definition for one or two that I've seen is " A couple".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
