»Wenn« … Daß diese kleine, die »unvollendete« Vergangenheit einleitende Konjunktion in beiden Satzarten den Konjunktiv des Plusquamperfekts erfordert – wie uns Donet in Erinnerung ruft –, war eine Syntaxregel, die Morse bereits früh verinnerlicht hatte. Allerdings hatte er mit seiner Schulbildung auch bedeutend mehr Glück gehabt als die Sprechstundenhilfe der Harvey Clinic.
“If”—that little conjunction introducing those unfulfilled conditions in past time which, as Donet reminds us, demand the pluperfect subjunctive in both clauses—a syntactical rule which Morse himself had mastered early on in an education which had been far more fortunate than that enjoyed by the receptionist at the Harvey Clinic.
