“HE THINKS PEDESTRIAN IS AN EPITHET,” ONE OF THE GIRLS SAID.
“Sure, didn’t you ever see a stone-crusher?” I said.
She said, “I’d just like to know how long you’re going to stay there.”

She said, “You must have oceans of time to spare.”
“Sure,” I said, “do you want some of it?”
Sandy called over to them and said, “Will you please tell us how much time we’ve got?”
One of the girls said, “I hope you have more time than you have brains. I don’t even know where you’re going. What town do you want?”
