In a secretive manner (2,3,3)

I believe the answer is:

on the sly

(Other definitions for on the sly that I've seen before include "Behind someone's back" , "Secretly or furtively" , "Under the table" , "in private" , "Honestly (anag) - dishonestly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Independent.
