Summed up — as a completed story? (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

all told

This clue is a double definition.

'summed up' is the first definition.
('all told' means with everything considered)

'as a completed story?' is the second definition.
(all of the story has been told)

(Other definitions for all told that I've seen before include "Including everything" , "sum" , "Altogether" , "To summarise" , "book reading's finished?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
