I find that when I have an early appointment--which I so rarely do, being clever enough to schedule my appointments in such a way to guarantee no earliness is expected of me--but when circumstances do not at all allow for this, then my preferred style is to come to them very tired. It creates a certain air of importance, yes? And mystery. [He affects a scratchy posh voice:] What has she been up to? She must be a very interesting person. And we should not take up too much of her time, and so on, and then your appointment is mercifully short and you are able to get on with truly interesting things.
Which, speaking of things more interesting--I did forget about that time! I was so interested in seeing shades and spirits and I never did get to see one. I wonder what is still down there.
