| Feb 20 at 17:37 | comment | added | Kate Bunting | The reader's attention has been directed to one particular passenger at the beginning of the chapter. It seems to be a (rather unusual) way of saying that it was this man who was getting into the coach. (I don't think it means that he had reserved his seat, since they're in the middle of the journey by now.) | |
| Feb 20 at 17:33 | comment | added | Martin Smith | TBH I take this to be a fairly convoluted way of saying "the passenger whose story is told in this book". | |
