In Piedmont I meditated as per the schedule (2,4)
I believe the answer is:
on time
'per the schedule' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'in piedmont i meditated' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ON TIME' is hidden in the letters of 'piedmont i meditated'.
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for on time that I've seen before include "Prompt" , "Not running late" , "(Of train) not late" , "promptly" , "Arriving when due" .)
