I would appreciate an explanation to the following clue please.

Cut talk by a quarter of an hour. (4) ?A?H I believe the answer is GASH but I don't get it.

Thank you.

Just a guess, Colin.
Talk is to gas.
Quarter of an hour could be the first letter of "h"our?

Gash, definition, a cut
talk=gas, + H, (a quarter of HOUR)

That is a good enough guess for me Rusty, I am indebted to you.

I just couldn't make sense of it.

Thanks again.

Colin.
