You're very welcome. And it's funny you mention "without leading up to it in any way." "AND" is a CONJUNCTION that connects two clauses. The mere act of using the word relates the two clauses, so actually, the "and pitied him" was just fine. So no, my conclusions remain valid. However, you are right. Between the two of us, our edits do get things done :P
