Attendants with leaves (5)
I believe the answer is:
pages
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'attendants' is the first definition.
(page is a kind of attendant)
'leaves' is the second definition.
(leaf can mean a page)
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for pages that I've seen before include "Boy attendants" , "Hotel employees" , "boys in the hotel" , "Young attendants" , "Sheets of a book" .)
