Might he relate a rags-to-riches story later? (3,7,3)
I believe the answer is:
old clothes man
'might he relate a rags-to-riches story later?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'might he' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'he' could be 'man' and 'man' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
