'hmmm' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'cavalier meets side shelter' is the wordplay.
'cavalier' indicates anagramming the letters (a cavalier or careless spelling).
'side' becomes 'l' (abbreviation for left).
'shelter' becomes 'ee' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'meets'+'l'='meetsl'
'meetsl' is an anagram of 'letmes'.
'letmes'+'ee'='LET ME SEE'

Can you help me to learn more?
