'high place' is the definition.
'roof' can be an answer for 'place' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'high' bit.

'a bounder and a fathead' is the wordplay.
'a bounder' becomes 'roo' (I've seen this before).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a fathead' becomes 'f' (head letter of 'fat').
'roo'+'f'='ROOF'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
