Hi guys, I was reading a short story called "Love is a fallacy" by Max Shulman and came across this phrase whose meaning I cannot get. Could you help me out? One afternoon I found Petey lying on his bed with an expression of such distress on his face that I immediately diagnosed appendicitis. "Don't move," I said, "Don't take a laxative. I'll get a doctor." "Raccoon," he mumbled thickly. "Raccoon?" I said, pausing in my flight. "I want a raccoon coat," he wailed. What does he mean by "pausing in my flight"? Thanks in advance. |
