How grammatically stupid I am
Is this sentence grammatically correct?
Having the ability to look at her papers at my leisure, the realization struck that herein lay the workings of another study. Should it be lay or lie? Isn't "workings" a direct object? Writing would be much more fun if grammar didn't get in the way.  Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
