Hello friends,
would you please correct me on bold sentence?
There were so many things about her aunt Jean Louise secretly delighted in when half a continent separated them, which on contact were abrasive, and were canceled out when Jean Louise undertook to examine her aunt’s motives.
my idea: her behaviour was rude. But I'm wondering if the distance was far they couldn't contact.
Thank you
