Leaves with the attendants (5)
I believe the answer is:
pages
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'leaves' is the first definition.
(leaf can mean a page)
'attendants' is the second definition.
(page is a kind of attendant)
'with the' is the link.
(Other definitions for pages that I've seen before include "Hotel employees" , "Book leaves" , "Sheets of a book" , "See 16" , "boys in the hotel" .)
