Well my first post has gone remarkably well so I will be less hesistant in the future I reckon.
"...I was properly taken by surprise that Wilson died..." Looking at the sentence I am taking a guess that you're from the UK. YAY! Fellow Brit *high fives* (or am I totally off...I did linguistics at university so I pick up on stuff ;0) )
And thanks for the nice comments. That was very much what I was going for. I did start out by declaring that Wilson was dying and the like but I re-wrote with it at the end. It just seemed a bit more powerful and it worked a bit better structurally.
