Scrap Bronte's puerile work about mistreated cat (4,4,4)
I believe the answer is:
ding dong bell
'scrap bronte's puerile' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'work about mistreated cat' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'work' could be 'do' (synonyms) and 'do' is found within the answer.
'about' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for ding dong bell that I've seen is " nursery rhyme".)
