“Of course, “ he went on, “if you don’t have the time, then you have to think really fast. Sometimes, you don’t even get time to think, you just do the best thing at the moment and then think about it later. ‘Course, if it works out well, you might not need to think about it. And speaking of thinking, I think I’d like you to run a couple of errands for me tomorrow, if you could, ummm”
