Le dialoque et le suivant:
X : She made an awful marriage, but should she hide her head?
X : She had an unhappy life. That doesn't make her an outcast.
Y : Phrase 1) (Celle-ci)
X : Phrase 2)
Non-ProZ.com Dec 4, 2004:
Duke est un nom de famille, il est effectivement au pluriel car il fait r�f�rence � plusieurs personne. Quant "means", le "s" m'a �chapper, c'est "mean" que je voulais �crire
Sophie Raimondo Dec 4, 2004:
Yes, exactly at the same time...:)
Richard Benham Dec 4, 2004:
We must have been typing at the same time.
Sophie Raimondo Dec 4, 2004:
Right on, Richard
Richard Benham Dec 4, 2004:
Or, given the next question, is it "the Dukes *mean* to take?"
Sophie Raimondo Dec 4, 2004:
L'autre phrase semble indiquer que "the Dukes" fait r�f�rence � plusieurs personnes... Dans ce cas, la phrase devrait �tre "the lines the Duke mean to take, no s pour "mean"...
Richard Benham Dec 4, 2004:
Doesn't make a lot of sense "I'm" for starters--and "Dukes" does not make sense in plural or as referring to a woman (unless it's her surname). Could it be a typo for "duchess"? While I'm here, where's it from?

Thank you, Sue
neutral Richard Benham : I am wonder whether this is a "line of argument" or a "line of action". You seem to favour the latter, although the former seems more common.

I did,'t have the dialogue when I replied, but it looks as though they want to make her an outcast
