    what is the meaning of these sentences?

    "Set the great bar across. i would not have the curious world with its small prying eyes to peer upon our pleasure."

    The great bar reminds me of the wooden barrier to the door of a castle. Here it probably just means to bolt the door shut so the curious cannot look in. What are they going to see? Perhaps some lovemaking ("pleasure"), but depending on the context this could be ironical.

    All you can do is to click on "edit post," erase the repetition, and add something like: Sorry, double post. That's what we usually do.
