Clarification needed for "the pair".

[edit]

I did some light editing. One of the sentences that mentions a pair of characters is unclear, however:

  • The pair initially dislike each other, and because of his views, Miranda is baffled when Nicholas asks Dr Turner to attend to his wife, who has a cold.

Changed to: "Van Ryn and Turner instantly dislike each other, and because of his views, Miranda is baffled when Nicholas asks the doctor to attend to his wife, who has a cold."

Why: Who the pair are meant to be is unclear. However, since the sentence goes on to discuss Miranda's perplexity at Van Ryn and Turner interacting, I surmised that they were "the pair". Since "initially" implies that they eventually become friends, it was changed to instantly. If I am mistaken who the author meant as "the pair", please re-edit.

I added a See also section with a link to Manor of Rensselaerswyck, the patroonship on the Hudson River near where Dragonwyck is situated.
