Notes: 1. If someone wanted to argue that this "so" joins main clauses, I would say "fine," even though I view this clause as the result of the preceding statement, "It wa lonely." See the discussion of "so." 2. I have no problem in considering "than before" as a prepositional phrase, but it can equally validly be considered a semi-reduced subordinate clause -- "than *he had cried it out* before." See the discussion of "than." 3. Because of the semicolon and paragraph break, I have considered this as a main clause break, but the next sentence can equally validly be considered as a noun clause, the DO of "said." 4. "Even" functions as an adverb, modifying
the entire adverbial clause.
