'go slowly with daughter in valley' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'with daughter in valley' is the wordplay.
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation**).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'valley' becomes 'dale' (dale is a kind of valley).
'w'+'d'='wd'
'wd' going into 'dale' is 'DAWDLE'.
