Great analysis! It strikes me that the style difference between the first two passages is that the first contains some passive voice, thanks to the things he has to work into it -- the stanchion and the guy's forehead. Whereas the second passage is all active voice. And also, I'm glad McCarthy ignored the common advice about filtering words. Two in a row!

Good points! And good to see you. Keep the place in shape while I'm gone. ЁЯШЖ
