Entirely different matter

 "You aren't going to do a bolt?"

 "Of course, I'm going to do a bolt. Immediately. You heard what Spode said."

"You aren't afraid of Spode?"

"Yes, I am."

"But you were saying yourself that he's a mere mass of beef and brawn, obviously slow on his feet."

"I know. I remember. But that was when I thought he was after you. One's views change."

(from The Code of the Woosters, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
