Hi
I came across this sentence and I don't exactly get 'appealed to her good sense'.
'I said that what she saw had been a hallucination, and appealed to her good sense, and her face relaxed.'
Actually the main problem I'm faced with is to translate this into my own language. But I guess your explanation will help me do so.
Thanks for helping me.
