someone once said to me , in another time and place , that the final solution to any problem was time . and because he knew it would upset her , he seemed almost happy to add , `` they slit his throat . '' shall we get in my car ; it might be about to rain ? what did i expect after the way i 'd spent my afternoon ? she is probably not asleep , but by the time we get ready to go it would be very late , my love .
