274

And so I was listening to Voor Adams Tijd (in Dutch) as I walked. 

I hadn’t been paying it full attention. I had other things on my mind. When the 20-min piece finished—the 5^th of about 18—hang on, I’ll check—yes, indeed—and the next part was about to play, I hesitated.

I wondered what was better. Should I repeat the 4^th, or should I go onto the 5^th?

As it happened, I went on and did a little German instead, but only after deciding that in general it’s probably best to simply let a story play on.
