Eloper, I'd scarper. Elder = Older, swap the D for day with OP, for work.
Eloper

Change d to op in elder

eloped?

Thanks. I had rejected ELOPER because it's a noun but scarper is a verb.
I think that's why 'I'd scarper' is in the clue, rather than just 'Scarper'.
I'd = I would scarper ergo Eloper.
I'd scarper because I am an eloper

Thank you all for the explanation. I couldn't see what "I'd" had to do with anything!!
Thanks, rtwdtrier. In good crosswords, there's a reason for every single word in a clue.
