Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expressions in bold in the following sentences?
Staring into the darkness, I saw not even a remnant of her former delicate beauty but rather a haggard, filthy woman in a long torn coat of
homespun.
homespun (n) = a similar sturdy fabric made on a power loom
Homesubn = material probably woven on a loom in the home, from yarn that is spun in the home >> home-spun.
Behind me I heard the distinct squeak of a floorboard, and I
spun around in absolute terror.
spin around = whirl; revolve quickly and repeatedly around one's own axis
Yes, but in this context turned around so I face the other way.
I made tea for
all and sundry at the office.
He was well known to
all and sundry.
all and sundry = one and all
Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
V.
