'went for a walk' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'good man turned' is the wordplay.
'good man' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for saint).
'turned' becomes 'rolled' (rolling is a kind of turning).
'st'+'rolled'='STROLLED'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for strolled that I've seen before include "Sauntered" , "Wandered" , "Ambled" , "Walked in leisurely way" , "proceeded unhurriedly" .)
