As expected, rather like Julie (4)
I believe the answer is:
duly
'as expected' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'rather like julie' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'like' could be 'ly' (similar in meaning) and 'ly' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for duly that I've seen before include "As might be expected" , "Suitably" , "In a proper manner" , "As a matter of course" , "Following proper procedure" .)
