Helpful Hints
- This clue's indicators are 'shortly', 'after', 'rejected', and 'confessed'. One of these is a kind of contraction indicator flagging that we need to find a compressed version of some neighbouring fodder. Another is a homophone indicator - take a word, speak it aloud and find its sound-alike. A third is a deletion indicator - some fodder will be removed from some other fodder. And 'after' suggests repositioning: what comes before it will go on the other side of what follows.
- This clue's fodder is 'Dominic', 'Lewis', and 'Ellie'. We'll use these words as the ingredients for our answer, combining them as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
- Our definition here is 'Prudence', and our answer will be another word for that.
