Fetching a pamphlet I have consumes short time (10)
I believe the answer is:
attractive
'fetching' is the definition.
('attractive' can be similar in meaning to 'fetching')
'a pamphlet i have consumes short time' is the wordplay.
'pamphlet' becomes 'tract' ('tract' can be a synonym of 'pamphlet').
'i have' becomes 'ive'.
'consumes' is an insertion indicator.
'short time' becomes 't' (abbreviation for time).
'tract'+'ive'='tractive'
'tractive' enclosing 't' is 'ttractive'.
'a'+'ttractive'='ATTRACTIVE'
(Other definitions for attractive that I've seen before include "Good-looking" , "drawing?" , "Magnetic" , "Pleasing to the eye" , "Alluring" .)
