She springs in the middle of nowhere down under (5)
I believe the answer is:
alice
'she' is the definition.
'springs in the middle of nowhere down under' is the wordplay.
'springs' becomes 'beads' (beading is a kind of springing).
'in the middle of' indicates the central letters (I've seen 'in the middle' mean this).
'nowhere down' becomes 'lice' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'under' says to put letters next to each other.
The middle of 'beads' is 'a'.
'a'+'lice'='ALICE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alice that I've seen before include "Wonderland girl's name" , "Celia changes into a different girl" , "Carroll heroine" , "Lewis Carroll character" , "Lewis Carroll's heroine" .)
