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?
“Barton, may I trouble you for a potato,” interrupted the master of the house hopping to nip his guest’s story in the bud.
check in the bud = crush in the bud = nip in the bud = stop from the very beginning
Thanks for your efforts.
Regards,
V
