Yes – but the ‘from’ was in the wrong place.Actually, some people do speak good English, quite naturally, but I’m sure the sentence would have attracted no comment, had the ‘m’ been omitted.
Y’all must be younger people. There was a huge joke-debate on the use of “whom” during the late fifties and throughout the sixties. Those of us who were there remember it provided great comedy fodder for sketch shows such as “Laugh In” and “Carol Burnett.”

Charlie Brown appeared out of nowhere in that last panel. Was he already behind them when they started to run?

All I know is that “whom” seems awkward in that sentence.

@legaleagle48 Although protesting about the Latin rule, Churchill phrased it correctly, in good English: his tongue in his cheek, I think.
