[edit] The end of the beginning

Ok I've got this article down to reasonable size, and without any direct copies from the pdf; apologies to people I annoyed with my zillions of edits. It could probably do with a reworking of my (too wordy?)writing style; anyway, I've finished. Totnesmartin 14:11, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What does this mean

Grace Thomas's grounds for suspicion were that she had met Lloyd the previous September; Lloyd had wept with joy and expressed pleasure in seeing that had Thomas regained her health. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk • contribs) 01:15, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Oops! "That Thomas had regained" is what I meant. Totnesmartin (talk) 14:12, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I still don't have a clue what it is trying to convey, or who Grace Thomas is in relation to Lloyd. It reads like a non sequitor. "Grace Thomas" is mentioned in a previous paragraph, but this sentence doesn't seem to be related to the previous paragraph, some intermediate information is missing. Instead of just restoring it, try to add context and explain who the people are in relation to each other. Its a stand alone paragraph but doesn't convey a completed bit of information. Was it Grace Thomas who made charges of witchcraft against Lloyd? If you provided a reference, I could read the reference and see what was missing and try to edit in the missing information. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 18:23, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
