What does "in his life or in his present errand" mean?
In the novel The Crystal Man, in Chapter I, there is this sentence:
He was not entirely at peace with society: there was something in his life or in his present errand which he desired to conceal.
Please can anyone explain what "present errand" means? And how can I rewrite this sentence using other words, but with the same meaning?
Solution 1:
Present errand here simply means current task.
