Found in Ransome, another like Scrooge? (4)
I believe the answer is:
mean
'like scrooge?' is the definition.
(Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge is mean or miserly)
'found in ransome another' is the wordplay.
'found in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'MEAN' is hidden within 'ransome another'.
(Other definitions for mean that I've seen before include "Name for being tight-fisted" , "Have in mind to be miserly?" , "Stingy; Scrooge-like" , "The average could be miserly" , "Average or mingy" .)
