what kind of clause is this?
"As soon as I arrived I made an attempt to find my host, but the two or three people of whom I asked his whereabouts stared at me in such an amazed way, and denied so vehemently any knowledge of his movements, that I slunk off in the direction of the cocktail table – the only place in the garden where a single man could linger without looking purposeless and alone."
I notice that there is a word 'that' in the sentence 'that I slunk off in the direction of the cocktail table – the only place in the garden where a single man could linger without looking purposeless and alone'. I am wondering what kind of clause this is. Thanks very much.
