To await with pleasure would seem impudent (4,7)
I believe the answer is:
look forward
'to await with pleasure would' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'seem impudent' is the wordplay.
'seem' becomes 'look' ('look' can be a synonym of 'seem').
'impudent' becomes 'forward' ('forward' can be similar in meaning to 'impudent').
'look'+'forward'='LOOK FORWARD'
