Plebeian girl following cow about (5-5)
I believe the answer is:
lower-class
'plebeian' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'girl following cow about' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'girl' could be 'lass' (lass can informally mean a girl) and 'lass' is found within the answer.
'cow' could be 'lower' (something which moos or lows) and 'lower' is located in the answer.
'about' could be 'c' (abbreviation for circa) and 'c' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
