Question

In this excerpt from The Life of Charlotte Brontë by Elizabeth Gaskell, what does the author mean by the sentence “The West Riding men are sleuth-hounds in pursuit of money”?

Answer 1

Well, you first have to find the context that the words are in. So it is implying that they are acting like those dogs when it comes to money. So I would look up how those dogs react, and that should give you your answer. If you need further help, just let me know.
