Well, maybe more than "a few minutes," but definitely a "neighbor." FWIW,
you might want to leave the italics; underlines are so yesterday.


Underlines are a hangover from old mechanical typewriters, which couldn't do
italics, and were an indication to the typesetter to set in italics.

Underlines should never be used with a proportional font, except to indicate
inserted text in redlining (or whatever Microsoft want to call it now).
