Can someone give me the meaning of those sentences? " He came to a group standing round a door" --> WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS VERB? : STANDING ROUND. I need to know what does "round" mean ?

I think what you mean is "standing around." The term "standing around" or "stand around" is an idiom which means something like: - to stand idly near a location - to wait around or loiter - to stay in one place doing little or nothing Example: A group of office workers are standing in a hall, chatting about TV show or whatever. The boss walks up to the group and says: "Why are you people just standing around? Get back to work!" A similar expression that is fairly common: "Don't just stand there. Do something!"
