Hello,
I read a novel. Its name is "61hours" by Lee Child. There is a phrase that I did not understand completely.
"He emptied his trouser pockets of keys, and wallet, and cell phone, and coins, and nested those clean warm personal items on top of his jacket. He picked up the grey plastic bin. Didn't carry it to X-Ray belt. Instead he hefted it across the room to a small window in a wall. He waited there and a woman in uniform took it and gave him a numbered ticket in exchange for it."
I am a little bit confused for this. In here is "nested"adjective or verb? Also does "those clean warm personal items" indicate "keys, wallet, cell phone and coins" ? If it does, could you explain "clean" and "warm" in this meaning. If it doesn't, what does "clean warm personal items" mean?
Thank you very much
