Disjuncts

Writers and speakers use disjuncts to make a comment on part of a text, as Fortunately does in this text:

This was not one of MCC's more glorious days. Fortunately, we had no time to feel sorry for ourselves because an early morning ferry journey took us to Nevis where we played the current Leeward Island champions.

Other disjuncts are admittedly, probably, and clearly.
