Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?
To please his family, Julian was still reading for the bar and eating his dinners; but like many barristers who are too sensitive for the rough-and-tumble of their profession, Julian had already turned to journalism. (Aldington’s “All Men Are Enemies”, part III, chapter II)
eat one's dinner = eat for the bar = study law
Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
V
