Grammar
Sentence from "Buffy the vampire slayer"
Hi Guys,
I have been studying English for over 3 years in university and should actually have reached a far advanced knowledge of English grammer and vocabulary by now. The problem is that i still encounter some sentences on a regular basis which pose a problem to me. The following line is from a TV-show called "Buffy", and it says:
"But to lose her to Angel . . . He was to have sat on my right come the day . . . and now . . ."
I guess he means:
He should have sat on my right (hand) when the day comes....
Can anyone decipher the sentence in terms of grammar?
Thanks in advance,
Donnie

) The Master speaks of how he lost Angel, when Angel was granted a soul. Listen to The Master talking again, because he does actually say: He was to have sat at my right hand , come the day . Meaning that the day The Master can go up to the surface (he's stuck underground for now), Angel was supposed to be fighting by The Masters side.
