Hello!
I have several questions regarding this sentence. Please, help me if you can.
1. Can I use the Pures meaning the pure type of guys in plural? It's a metaphoric name for a conservative man.
2.Can you help me find the expression meaning 'later and later'' which would function well in this sentence.
3. Is it OK to say
be bogged down or
sink in the mud of a more serious love affair?
4. What about
more serious love affair? serious is here opposite to short-lasting and unimportant.
When they go astray,
the Pures/the Pure types can return from the pub later and later or be bogged down/sink in the mud of a more serious love affair
Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to your posts

p.s. It's Antonia, I can't log in from my computer. Sorry!
