Bishop meeting the lady in Paris - lovely female (5)
I believe the answer is:
belle
'female' is the definition.
(belle is a kind of female)
'bishop meeting the lady' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'b' (abbreviation used in chess).
'meeting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the lady' becomes 'elle' (**).
'b'+'elle'='BELLE'
'in paris lovely' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for belle that I've seen before include "Pretty girl" , "dish" , "Lovely girl" , "Girl who's fetching" , "Beautiful girl" .)
