I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Times for the Times have:
HIS FEW anagrammed (faults) with I (one) F (loudly = forte, in music) inside (broaches) FISHWIFE is the referent of ‘one’ in this descriptive phrase. It’s a bit unfortunate that the clue also contains the pronoun ‘his’, because the clue could equally be referring to whoever ‘he’ is.
