so...as + when 从句如何分析和理解？

But I think the conversation never settled down so comfortably as when it turned to the details of the trade which was the other side of the art we practised. When we had done discussing the merits of the latest book, it was natural to wonder how many copies had been sold, what advance the author had received, and how much he was likely to make out of it.

1)麻烦老师具体分析一下never settled down so comfortably as when it turned to the details of the trade which was the other side of the art we practised.这句话的语法结构和意思？

as后是一个when从句，比较项是comfortably，那么是哪两项在比较呢？没搞懂。

2) When we had done discussing the merits...中出现了had done discussing, 即have done doing 这是什么语法结构和含义呢？

1. The conversation never settled down so comfortably as (it did) when it turned to the details of the trade.

这是比较结构：not/never so...as....。as 从句为避免重复，承前省略了主句 it did（it 指The conversation，did 替代前面的谓语动词），只保留了时间从句when...

【翻译】谈话从来没有像谈到交易细节时那样地心平气和。

2. When we had done discussing the merits of the latest book, it was natural to wonder how many copies had been sold,

have/has/had done +动名词 = have/has/had finished + 动名词：（要用完成体）做完某事。

= When we had finished discussing the merits of the latest book, it was natural to wonder how many copies had been sold,
