In the sen­tence “The blind man, who knew that he had risen, motioned him to sit down again” (from Charles Dick­ens, Barn­aby Rudge), “he had risen” is an exam­ple of the plu­per­fect tense. It refers to an event (some­one rises from his seat), which takes place before another event (the blind man notices the fact that the other has risen). Since that sec­ond event (the blind man’s tak­ing notice) is itself a past event and the past tense is used to refer to it (“the blind man knew”), the plu­per­fect is needed to make it clear that the first event (some­one rises) has taken place even ear­lier in the past.

From the site

Trail­fire enables you to dis­cover the web through the exper­tise of oth­ers. Fol­low a trail and find what you need. Or share your own exper­tise by mak­ing a trail of web pages.

Mak­ing trails is easy. Place a ‘trail mark’ (like a ‘post-it’ note) on a page with your com­ments. A trail mark can con­tain text, images, videos and other media types. When you give sev­eral marks the same ‘trail name’ you are form­ing your own nav­i­ga­tion path on the web. We call this a ‘Trail’. Trails can be pri­vate or pub­lic. Trails can be shared via email, by post­ing them on any web­site, or by pub­lish­ing them on Trail​fire​.com.
