Perceptive and sergically precise but any double spaces are accidents. I do not see them but if you do you may remove them in your copy which, no doubt, you will keep in your wallet, close to your heart.

I do appreciate you comments on the somewhat "chocolate box" sentiments expressed latterly in the piece but would excuse myself on genre-genuine grounds.
"scoops the ecstasy" is a little precious. It was contemporaneous consideration; if you were not there you could not see it...my fault. I did not do a good enough job of eulogising.
Physics. If air is thin enough (vaccuum) sound is not transmitted.The silence of space. The higher you go, the thinner the air. As air thins, sound diminishes. End.
Best and thanks,
