Dear people,
How would you interpret the following sentence?
I am not sure what it really means.
In a tight spot there is no one I would sooner see than Frank.
[Source: Collins COBUILD English Dictionary]
I would make of it this way:
All I'd love to turn to in a very difficult situation would be Frank.
What would you think?
Sincerely,
Ray
