(Complete) The Best Foot Forward and Other Stories by Francis J. Finn, S.J. - m8b1

Hi Maria! I'm doing edits on my chapter and I have a question for you on page 223. I've recorded it as written but want to double check with you before I submit it. The word "embarrassed" seems odd to me.

The text says

I stated a moment ago that it was a cold day. The wind bit shrewdly as it passed, and sang a song of winter at the corners of the church. Men, pressing their gloved hands to their ears, were hurrying along with all the haste consistent with Sunday dignity and the condition of the pavements. Little boys, embarrassed by heavy bundles of papers, were dancing upon the snow-covered earth and beating their arms energetically against their shoulders, forgetting in the intensity of the cold to cry out their wares. In a word, there could be no doubt in the mind of any sane and unprejudiced man that it was a very cold day indeed.

Thanks!

Hi Nicole,

Yes, that is fine.

It would be used more in context of the definition under point 2 here: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/embarrassed

I'd like an extension on section 28. My plan was to read and submit it tomorrow but life has forced a rescheduling. I should have it done within the next two weeks, most likely sooner rather than later.
