Well, then how old are you in these years and is your gray starting to fray? Or are you just upon your first whisker or two? Why, that could make you 60 or so. Didn't you know that time creeps forward, little one?
As if a principal of variation weren't a simple and primitive thing. Oh, no; read about it on the internet and I'm sure you'll be busy for months. Rightly so, sir, says an aristocrat in protectocrat clothing, all dictacratted up and countercratted down
where it matters. Why, he could walk across ice with the flick of a switch on each one. Then, off the ice, as if all was normal again, scuffling along in the dead brown grass, hands in his trowser pockets. Fiddling with something perhaps. He did seem
preoccupied that day. Why once I heard him slip out the strangest pronouncement: "Damn if I can do thirty words per minute on this thing, captain. I am a slow reader, you know." Of course, I was coming back from the bathroom, and he was on the other side
of a concrete wall. Somehow the sound carried that day. Maybe the breeze that he thought covered him gave him away.
