word-processed. Again, I thoroughly enjoyed reading.
I never noticed it until it was brought up in class, maybe because it wasn't a
point for me in In Our Time, but He doesn't often enough credit quotations with,

was carrying when he was shot in the head. Extras such as these really did
nothing more than give the men a false sense of security, which was probably
