Helpful Hints
- This clue's indicators are 'Shake', 'to banish', and 'and bring in'. One of these is an anagram indicator, suggesting we need to disrupt and rearrange some neighbouring letters. Another is a deletion indicator - we'll need to remove some fodder from some other fodder. And a third is a containing indicator guiding us to put some fodder within other fodder.
- This clue's fodder is 'peare', 'Romeo', and 'Charlie'. Two of these have (very) short substitutes, which we'll need to use with the letters of the other to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
- Our definition here is 'Get out', and our answer will be a word for that.
