Correctly formatted text
bottle like that shepherd's boy; and, in an instant, it hurried me along through my no very short life of adventure, of toil, of peril, of pleasure, of ardent friendship and not less ardent enmity; and after filling me with wonder, that a heart and mind so wrapped up in everything belonging to the gardens, the fields and the woods, should have been condemned to waste themselves away amidst the stench, the noise, and the strife of cities, it brought me <i>to the present moment</i>, and sent my mind back to what I have yet to perform about Nicholas Grimshaw and his <i>ditches</i>!
Ownership of punctuation
This is ambiguous: did the author use the exclamation mark to emphasize the entire sentence, the ending phrase, or just the word "ditches"? Unless it's clear that the "bang" goes with the word, put it outside the markups. (And, this is from the same book as an earlier example, where many sentences ended with exclamation marks.)
