A German bearing last of gifts for her? (5)
I believe the answer is:
agnes
'her?' is the definition.
'a german bearing last of gifts' is the wordplay.
'german' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'bearing' becomes 'ne'.
'last of' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'gifts' is 's'.
'a'+'g'+'ne'+'s'='AGNES'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for agnes that I've seen before include "The Eve of St. - (Keats)" , "Patron saint of virgins" , "Girl's name" , "St --' Eve, poem by Lord Tennyson" , "Miss Grey" .)
