Hello everyone
I came across a sentence went like this: "He had a boyish voice that could switch from serious to playful at the slightest instigation."
I want to know what "at the slightest instigation" means.
I know what "at the instigation of somebody" means, but it doesn't seem to fit in this sentence.
Or it does, and I am just reading this in a wrong way?
Thanks.
