Vocabulary
he must be five floors above there
In the example:
He came to a sudden halt in front of a tall suit of armor. He had been so busy getting away from the library, he hadn't paid attention to where he was going. Perhaps because it was dark, he didn't recognize where he was at all. There was a suit of armor near the kitchens, he knew, but he must be five floors above there.
Does the clause, but he must be five floors above there, mean (1) ‘he should have been five floors above there,’ (2) or ‘it’s certain that he was five floors above there?’
