Follow chap, then another, back to beastly dwelling (3,6)

'follow' is the definition.
(I know that dawdle is a type of follow\nI know that drag is a type of dawdle\nTherefore, drag is a type of follow)

'chap then another back to beastly dwelling' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'chap' could be 'hi' and 'hi' is located in the answer.
'another' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found within the answer.
'back' could be 'end' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'end' is located in the remaining letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
