I wrote my comment and then I saw that Polona wrote nearly the same

"...so much between the lines..."

Mmmm. This is one to sit with a while. Is it comforting or sad or disappointing or reassuring? or all of those things? Great one. So enormous for being so small.

Oh, checked my notes, and found sign away from a law-dictionary, better perhaps to give in or to give up ?

Also hand over could be one idea...

All these variations sounded so good to me, but what is the strict meaning of the writer, that's a Q!
