This clue might be a double definition.

'took a quick look' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'bounced off' is the second definition.
'glanced' can be an answer for 'bounced' (glancing is a kind of bouncing). I am unsure of the 'off' bit.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
