Dear teachers,
Would you share with me your opinion concerning the interpretation of the expressions in bold in the following sentences?
I remember going to the British Museum one day to read up the treatment for some slight ailment of which I had a touch — hay fever, I fancy it was. I got down the book, and read all I came to read; and then, in an unthinking moment, I idly turned the leaves, and began to indolently study diseases, generally..
read up = study or learn by reading, study specially, inquire further into
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]fancy = guess[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]in an unthinking moment = involuntarily, without a second thought, as a matter of course[/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
[FONT="]indolently = without showing an interest in [/FONT]
[FONT="] [/FONT]
Thank you for your efforts.
