So lovely to have feedback like this and I love when people spend time with words and experience them differently because of a little something one has done...

In doing so, it emphasizes the 'she', making one who doesn't know the next word conjure up all kinds of expected female actions before being told that what she did was persist.

All that captured by a change in leading between words.
