Be rebuked for giving a pet to the young girl (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
catch it
'be rebuked' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'giving a pet to the young girl' is the wordplay.
'giving' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a pet' becomes 'cat' (I have seen 'Common pet ' mean 'cat' so perhaps 'pet' could also mean 'cat').
'to the young girl' becomes 'chit' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cat' put next to 'chit' is 'CATCH IT'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for catch it that I've seen before include "be scolded" , "Get in trouble" .)
