Drag from the said lobby (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

haul

'drag' is the definition.
('haul' can be a synonym of 'drag')

'the said lobby' is the wordplay.
'the said' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'lobby' becomes 'hall' ('hall' can be a synonym of 'lobby').
'hall' is a homophone of 'HAUL'.

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for haul that I've seen before include "Yank" , "Lug -- proceeds of robbery" , "Pull forcibly; catch" , "Pull or drag forcibly" , "Drag, heave" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
