Hi, I'm currently working on this book "The Vampire Lestat" written by Anne Rice. I would like to post all the questions under this thread, for your convenience.
1. I talk like a cross between a flatboatman and detective Sam Spade.
Does "talk to a cross" mean that the way he talks is inconsistent, sometimes like a flatboatman sometimes a detective?
2. I began to understand the caliber of the changes that the world had undergone.
What does "the caliber of the changes" mean?
I'm looking forward to your answers.
Thank you,
Pastel
