When we’d arranged a date to meet, he’d said he was free at any time on any day—he had no conflicting meetings, only a never-ending pile of solitary work.

Buying quality is like buying oats.  If you want nice, dry, clean oats you have to pay a fair price.  If you want oats that have already been through the horse, that comes cheaper.
