Flashman don't fret

However, I’ve seen too much of life to fret over ifs and buts. There’s nothing you can do about them, and if you find yourself at the end of the day an octogenarian with money in the bank and drink in the house – well, you’d be a fool to wish that things had fallen out differently.

Royal Flash, p.57, Pan edition, 8th printing, 1978.
