“No doubt you would deeply regret any error you might make in the hurry of the moment; but you wouldn't regret it half as much as I should!”
The dragon to St. George on plans to stage their combat.
Dream Days (1898), The Reluctant Dragon
Context: No doubt you would deeply regret any error you might make in the hurry of the moment; but you wouldn't regret it half as much as I should! However, I suppose we've got to trust somebody, as we go through life, and your plan seems, on the whole, as good a one as any.
