Run into Ms Davis and Ms Gardner, perhaps (8)
I believe the answer is:
brunette
'ms gardner perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'run into ms davis' is the wordplay.
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'ms davis' becomes 'bette' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'run' put inside 'bette' is 'BRUNETTE'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brunette that I've seen before include "Kind of dark girl" , "Brown-haired" , "One having dark brown hair" , "She's certainly not blond" , "Woman with dark hair" .)
