“Snapping shut his mobile, Dalgliesh reflected that murder, a unique crime for which no reparation is ever possible, imposes it own compulsions as well as it's conventions. He doubted whether Macklefield [the murder victim's Will attorney] would have interrupted his country weekend for a less sensational crime. As a young officer he, too, had been touched, if unwillingly and temporarily, by the power of murder to attract even while it appalled and repelled. He had watched how people involved as innocent bystanders, provided they were unburdened by grief or suspicion, were engrossed by homicide, drawn inexorably to the place where the crime had occurred in fascinated disbelief. The crowd and the media who served them had not yet congregated outside the wrought-iron gates of the Manor. But they would come, and he doubted whether Chandler-Powell's [owner of the Manor where the murder was committed] private security team would be able to do more than inconvenience them.” ― P.D. James, The Private Patient
In this, I aim to discern these phrases. a unique crime for which no reparation is ever possible I think I discern an appositive. I discern it thinking it seems to maybe add information to what came formerly, a noun, murder? That seems a sign I may utilize.
In As a young officer he I may not get how to discern that. It seems maybe a dependent phrase. May you aim to observe heads (I may not seem to get what that signifies in grammar), and or maybe a first word?
I may not get if unwillingly and temporarily, provided they were unburied by grief or suspicion, and But they would come, and he doubted whether Chandler-Powell's [owner of the Manor where the murder was committed] private security team would be able to do more than inconvenience them.
But they would come, and he doubted whether Chandler-Powell's [owner of the Manor where the murder was committed] private security team would be able to do more than inconvenience them. seems to get me. In But they would come, they seems a subject here, a subject of would, transitive, and object come? They would come. Or come, intransitive, They come, would maybe like auxiliary They would come? I guess I may not get why But they would come follows a comma?
