"I determined to go next day and see the Time Traveller again. I was told he was in the laboratory, and, being on easy terms in the house, I went up to him. The laboratory however was empty."
excerpt from "The time machine" - H.G. Wells
I have looked up the Oxford dictionary for the phrase "on easy terms" and the meaning is "(of a loan) with a low rate of interest, or (of a purchase) allowing the buyer to pay gradually over a long period". I don't think this is the meaning of "on easy terms" in the excerpt. So what is the true meaning of "on easy terms"
Thanks!
