I think the following phrases/sentences are difficult to understand :
- ‘Suggest masculine habitation. It means the room belonged to a man.
- My aunt will be down presently’. It means she will come downstairs.
- ‘Without unduly discounting the aunt: It means to think the aunt unimportant.
- Whirl of apologies: It means apologies in quick succession
- Rattled on: It means continued.
- Romance at short notice : It means finding occasion for fun and enjoyment, wherever possible.
