After hour working, ogled sweet (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

honeyed

'sweet' is the definition.
(I know that sweet can be written as honeyed)

'after hour working ogled' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'hour' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'working' becomes 'on' (e.g. a machine is working or on).
'ogled' becomes 'eyed' (I've seen this before).
'h'+'on' is 'hon'.
'hon'+'eyed'='HONEYED'

(Other definitions for honeyed that I've seen before include "Sweetened (words)" , "Sweet" , "Sweetened, made agreeable; of music pleasing to the ear" , "(Of words) soothing, soft" , "Mellifluous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
