Precocious minx indeed, accepting love bed in Paris (6) L_LITA

The answer is obviously Lolita (precocious minx). I also see o(love) + lit (bed in French/Paris)....
But where does the LA come from?
Indeed, deed ...???

Many thanks

I think you could make La equal Indeed La is an old word which is defined as "Oh look!" An example of la used as an interjection is in the sentence, "La! What a beautiful bird!" which means "Oh look! What a beautiful bird!"
