Times Jumbo No. 831

[dongo]

27D Wanders, hot and feverish, into scene of fake robbery (8). We have come up with answer GADSHILL but can't fully explain it. Are we right? Many thanks to anyone who can help.

[Rollo]

To wander is to GAD - so GADS

H for hot

Feverish ILL

[Lie-in King]

Gadshill - Gads (wanders) + h(ot) +ill

Brief explanation here -

Yes Rollo, . . . and Gadshill was the scene of a Train Robbery in 1874. BUT, How do you explain the use of the word FAKE?

[Sandy-Wroe]

And Falstaff, Bardolf, and others staged a fake robbery at Gadshill...
