Cryptic Stuff

[not_for_sale2025]

While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. 🙂

The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

Nice little quick one...

Chloe's gone, left... Chloe! Chloe! Loe! Oe! Oe! oe oe. (4)

Echo

LOL. Haven't you done this one before, or did I dream it?

[countessalmirena]

That's it. Chloe - L (left) [indicator:deletion signified by "gone"]  = choe which is easily rearranged for echo.

I used the same idea of echoing part of the whole word answer, but it was within a longer word.
