“I’ll tell you, shall I, something I remember? Something that means a great deal to me. It was long ago.”

– discovering that you have no money, app or card with you when the moment comes to pay for something

– “That’s my last word,” he said.
– It seemed a great chance, but I had learned my lesson.
– “Absolutely terrified!” was the answer.
– Sometimes it doesn’t pay to get too involved.
“This is a wild land, country of my choice, with harsh craggy mountains, moor ample and bare.”
