"I've had some very remarkable experiences," he said.
"You must have had," I answered.
He did not, I think, on this occasion, stay very long.

"That's a prince of a man," said Peter enthusiastically. "I don't know where I'd have been without him in France. Everyone loved him there, and they were right."
"What an experience he must have had there," I said, a little breathless.
"Oh, that!" said Peter laughing. "That was all lies from beginning to end."
