Your lad misbehaving, Mary? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
our lady
'mary?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'your lad misbehaving' is the wordplay.
'misbehaving' indicates anagramming the letters.
'your'+'lad'='yourlad'
'yourlad' is an anagram of 'OUR LADY'.
(Other definitions for our lady that I've seen before include "an object of veneration" , "Virgin Mary" .)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
