Father and mother embracing the Spanish girl (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pamela

'girl' is the definition.

'father and mother embracing the spanish' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa is a kind of father).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'mother' becomes 'ma' (ma is a kind of mother).
'embracing' indicates putting letters inside.
'the spanish' becomes 'el'.
'ma' enclosing 'el' is 'mela'.
'pa'+'mela'='PAMELA'

(Other definitions for pamela that I've seen before include "Woman" , "Lady" , "Girl's name from a maple" , "Richardson heroine; Widmerpool's wife" , "Richardson novel; girl's name" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
