>The kind of? If it's a kind that exists generically then we can't have a past tense It still applies if the past tense is only meant to apply to the reaction to what he did at that point in the past ("made the whole restaurant turn around and look") and not to the general reaction to such booming abandon. Then this: > “He laughed with the kind of booming abandon that made the whole restaurant turn around and look.” Can still refer to the generalized abandon, but should rather be: > “He laughed with a kind of booming abandon that made the whole restaurant turn around and look.” Though, the non-generalized version is indeed better.
