How a man disagreed in a capital way (5,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
shook his head
'how a man disagreed' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'a capital way' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'capital' could be 'head' and 'head' is located in the answer.
'way' could be 's' (Compass direction - South) and 's' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
