'getting something for nothing?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beg that I've seen before include "Plead as for help" , "Plead in desperation" , "Plead or scrounge" , "Plead or ask for alms" , "Solicit charity" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
