Grime Romeo returned in pen case (9)
I believe the answer is:
cartridge
'case' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cartridge that I've seen before include "holds a lot of ink" , "stunning charge may be made" , "round" , "Bullet's casing" , "Credit rag (anag)" .)
