Trick by French father — daughter rushed off (9)

I believe the answer is:

scampered

'rushed off' is the definition.
(scamper can mean to run or rush away)

'trick by french father daughter' is the wordplay.
'trick' becomes 'scam' (I've seen this in another clue).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'french father' becomes 'pere' ('father' in French).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'scam'+'pere'+'d'='SCAMPERED'

(Another definition for scampered that I've seen is " hurried".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
