Went like the dickens (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flew

'went like the dickens' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for flew that I've seen before include "Fled" , "Dashed" , "Rushed (by air?)" , "was airborne" , "Rushed < from local flat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
