Stylish Poulter drawn into short shot - this could go in fountain (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
indian ink
'short shot this could go in fountain' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'stylish poulter drawn into' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'stylish' could be 'in' and 'in' is present in the answer.
'into' could be 'in' and 'in' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for indian ink that I've seen before include "Maybe part of squid" , "Deep black writing fluid" , "Draw with this" , "Writing fluid containing carbon particles" , "black pigment" .)
