I'm pretty sure it's not exactly the same as the original but it's close

What a night to be out there too!

I think it's a subtle British thing that's lost on Americans

Yes, thank you! That's what I was thinking of but I couldn't come up with the name!

You hear about people who were killed weeks (months?) after the Treaty of Ghent ended The War of 1812 because it took so long for word to get to the fronts

What's your elevator pitch of what's going on in If on a winter's night a traveler? I read it and got a big hmmmm out of it
