Why does Eliot give us sentences that look beyond the end of the action? e.g.: "Will never quite knew how it was that he saved himself from falling down at her feet..." (6.54.515) or "...in certain states of dull forlornness Dorothea all her life continued to see the vastness of St. Peter's..." (2.20.184).

Does manufacturing make products better?

This question was skipped when a member pointed out that "productions" in the text does not mean products, but production processes.
