Quick to adjust a veil (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alive

'quick' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'adjust a veil' is the wordplay.
'adjust' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'veil'='aveil'
'aveil' anagrammed gives 'ALIVE'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for alive that I've seen before include "Animate, breathing" , "Still with us" , "Still in use, not dead" , "Extant" , "operative?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
