As you may r-recall, when I first met Benjamin, I was... f-fourteen years of age. But I was not introduced to arylcycloheylamines until... s-some time later, at fifteen.

I agreed to a-accompany him on a date there... [It's plain that Robert, at the time, didn't really know exactly what it was for.]
