like no time at all
Hi,
"At the ceremony, all of the women speak about Nancys multitude of achievements, both personal and professional. Nancy concludes by saying fifty years feels like a lifetime...and like no time at all."
What does 'no time' mean here?
"She doesnt feel so bad that she cant chow down on a candy bar shes got hidden away. Unfortunately, a nearby bear wants it, too."
What does 'she's got hidden away' mean here?
Thanks very much.

Thank you ,Clive very much for your reply. Do you think 'she's got hidden away' is correct? Is it more correct to say 'she's got it (candy bar) hidden away?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hi,
I want the candy bar. She's got it (the candy bar) hidden away. Two independent sentences.
I want the candy bar that she's got hidden away. Main clause + subordinate clause.
Best wishes, Clive
