'went away' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'peter set himself to move' is the wordplay.

'peter'+'set'+'himself'='petersethimself'
'petersethimself' with letters rearranged gives 'LEFT THE PREMISES'.

'and' acts as a link.
