He only died in 2014! Though women’s rights do rather seem to have passed him by…The Snow Leopard remarkable for the extent to which he doesn’t think about his recently deceased wife and subsequently orphaned son! Though he occasionally remembers that he’d said he’d be home for Halloween but isn’t.

There is an argument that all adverbs are meaningless.
