Lady ih India beams with him around (8)
I believe the answer is:
memsahib
'lady ih india beams with him around' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'beams with him around' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'beams' after 'him' is 'himbeams'.
'himbeams' anagrammed gives 'MEMSAHIB'.
Can you help me to learn more?
