As this went along, I tried to fix the pace of the words with the pace or gait of a horse, or man, without success. Possibly a sitting trot.... From 'She laughs... to 'to-day'. is one long sentence, but it did evoke passage of time, and that state where, doing some mechanical thing, our minds, or part of them, do go walkabout -- it used to happen to me, working night-shifts in a a factory, grinding poppet-valves! But reality is always there, much more straight-forward. It created a good atmosphere, for me.
