Sweetheart behind benefit party suddenly got excited (6,2)
I believe the answer is:
perked up
'suddenly got excited' is the definition.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for perked up that I've seen before include "Looked happier" , "given lots of extra benefits?" .)
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
