Travelling bag in ancient lobby, according to Spooner (7)
I believe the answer is:
holdall
'travelling bag' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ancient lobby according to spooner' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'ancient' could be 'old' (similar in meaning) and 'old' is found in the answer.
'lobby' could be 'hall' (synonyms) and 'hall' is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for holdall that I've seen before include "retainer" , "Largish bag" , "Large bag (no need for another?)" , "Big bag" , "Large carrying bag" .)
