Leaves hotel for European's speech on holiday (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
checks out
'leaves hotel' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'european's speech on holiday' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'speech' could be 'heck' (heck is a kind of speech) and 'heck' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
