We fuss about length and line? That's rich! (4-2-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

well-to-do

'rich' is the definition.
('well-to-do' can be similar in meaning to 'rich')

'we fuss about length and line?' is the wordplay.
'fuss' becomes 'todo' (I've seen this before).
'about' says to put letters next to each other.
'length' becomes 'l'.
'and' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'line?' becomes 'l'.
'todo' put after 'l' is 'ltodo'.
'ltodo' after 'l' is 'lltodo'.
'we'+'lltodo'='WELL-TO-DO'

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for well-to-do that I've seen before include "Fairly wealthy" , "Quite wealthy" , "Comfortably off" , "Moderately wealthy" , "'Prosperous, wealthy (4-2-2)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
