'quietly take' is the definition.
'steal' can be an answer for 'take' (stealing is a kind of taking). I am not certain of the 'quietly' bit.

'tea in central bisley' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'central' means to look at the middle letters.
The central letters of 'bisley' are 'sl'.
'tea' inserted into 'sl' is 'STEAL'.
