Hello everyone.
Is the phrase �nor he me� at the end of the last sentence an shortened expression of �nor had he met me in his life�?
A few months ago, as I was walking down the street, I saw a man at a distance. It was Anthony Quinn, the famous film star. Naturally , I had never met him in my life, nor he me.
Best regards,
Fw |

Thanks, lotus.
Here is one more follow-up question.
Can sentence 1 below be rewritten into sentence 2?
1. He hates me and I hate him
2. He hates me and I him.

Yes again.
Those missing words are "understood."
