Discussion

marina, you were correct. Charles leaving for America was the result of HIM learning about his wife's infidelity. Both translations are correct but I'd like 'this' better than 'it'.

Sorry Mark . Do you want me to :
1) replace "he" by "she" ( When Charles learnt that he decided to go to America)
2 suppress "it" ? We need something for "l'' ( en apprenant cela). Maybe you'd prefer "this".
3) both ?
