Fell in/level
Hi
It was her cat. He fell in beside and slightly behind her,
his tail held high; and together they walked home through
the level golden light. (It was night)
Does it mean that the cat stood next to her, just a little bit behind her? Or maybe he walked next to her, slightly behind her?
I'm not sure what "level" means here? Maybe something like "calm"?
