Dear teachers,
Would you tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?
Go to Crawley. Use my name. He won’t refuse my friend, for I could do him an ill turn of I chose.
do somebody’s a bad turn = do somebody’s an ill turn = kill someone with kindness ; do someone’s very doubtful service; do someone’s harm
Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
V
