Daphne and others in American city with leader of The House welcomed by foreign politicians (6)
I believe the answer is:
nymphs
'daphne and others' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'american city with leader of the house welcomed by foreign politicians' is the wordplay.
'american city' becomes 'ny' (short for New York).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'leader of' suggests taking the first letters.
'welcomed by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (letters welcomed inside).
'foreign politicians' becomes 'mps' (Members of Parliament. I am not sure about the 'foreign' bit.).
The initial letter of 'house' is 'h'.
'h' put inside 'mps' is 'mphs'.
'ny'+'mphs'='NYMPHS'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nymphs that I've seen before include "Immature dragonflies" , "pretty girls" , "Minor female deities" , "Beautiful young women" , "beautiful girls" .)
