Sparkle -- hurry -- drop -- shatter! (4)
I believe the answer is:
dash
I believe this is a quadruple definition!!
'sparkle' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'hurry' is the second definition.
(dash is a kind of hurry)
'drop' is the third definition.
(thesaurus)
'shatter' is the fourth definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for dash that I've seen before include "instrument panel" , "scotch" , "- - ; panache" , "quite mild oath" , "Confound - verve" .)
