Dear teachers,
I was reading a book (The Girl Savage by Katherine Rundell) and ran into this sentence:
"Perhaps the captain saw something in the expression on Will's face at that moment, because he sighed deeply, which would not have been so bad, Will thought, except Captain Browne did not sigh. He would have said it was "dramatic and indulgent, girl."
So I assume the girl was imagining that the captain has sighed?
The problem is a few sentences later the author said "The captain sighed again." I got confused.
Thanks!
