Connie Willis Quote

There’s no need to say anything to Mr. Turing. I was the one who wasn’t watching where I was going You were the one? Mavis said indignantly. Turing never pays the slightest attention to where he’s going. He simply plows through pedestrians Elspeth nodded. Someone needs to tell him he must be more careful! He could have injured you! And I could have injured him, Mike thought. Or killed him. If Turing had lost control of his bicycle and crashed into a lamppost instead of the curb, or into a brick wall… Mavis said, I’ve a good mind to tell Cap— No. There’s no need to tell anybody. I’m Fine. No Harm done. Thank you for picking me up and dusting me off. He picked up his bag, which Mavis had carried in… Watch out for Turing on your way there, Joan cut in. And for Dilly, Elspeth said. He’s even worse about not watching where he’s going, and he has a car! Whenever he comes to a crossing, he speeds up. Dilly? Mike said hoarsely.
