<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like help with the following: “una hora de esclavos viles.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to the dictionary una hora is: an hour or ‘distancia de una legua’ or ‘hora menguada’ – tiempo desperdiciado. Of course there are other expressions with hora but specifically what would an ‘hora de esclavos’ be? Could it be a
specific quantity of esclavos? Or, could it be a very long time?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your suggestions.<o:p></o:p></p>
