Other than preference for what I consider flow, I have no firm argument why I'd like this sentence,
'...an elderly lady well wrapped up against London’s chill while inching her mobility-scooter home asked whether I could spare one of my precious roll-ups'.
To read like I intended and not include the commas others are insisting on below,
'...an elderly lady well wrapped up against London’s chill, inching her mobility-scooter home, asked whether I could spare one of my precious roll-ups'.
Too much hesitation in the wrong places, I think. Is there a rule that makes the case for either being correct?
