Review this excerpt from "Lather and Nothing Else." I estimated he had a four-days' growth of beard, the four days he had been gone on the last foray after our men. His face looked burnt, tanned by the sun. I started to work carefully on the shaving soap. I scraped some slices from the cake, dropped them into the mug, then added a little lukewarm water, and stirred with the brush. The lather soon began to rise. "The fellows in the troop must have just about asmuch beard as I." I went on stirring up lather. Which is true about the pacing in this excerpt? The short, choppy sentences slow the pace and provide background information. The short, choppy sentences quicken the pace and create a sense of urgency. The long, detailed sentences slow the pace and provide background information. The long, detailed sentences quicken the pace and create a sense of urgency.
