Suddenly the green knight summons up his strength,hoists the axe high over Gawain's head,lifts it aloft with every fiber of his lifeand begins to bring home a bone-splitting blow.Had he seen it through as thoroughly as threatenedthe man beneath him would have met with his maker.But glimpsing the axe at the edge of his eyebringing death earthwards as it arced through the air,and sensing its sharpness, Gawain shrank at the shoulders.The swinging axman swerved from his stroke,and reproached the young prince with piercing words:"Call yourself good Sir Gawain?" he goaded,"who faced down every foe in the field of battlebut now flinches with fear at the foretaste of harm.Never have I known such a namby-pamby knight.Did I budge or even blink when you aimed the axe,or carp or quibble in King Arthur's castle,or flap when my head went flying to my feet?"

- La ponctualité est très importante pour Jonathan. Lorsque lui arrive la "chose avec la colombe" (p.5) et qu'il prend du retard dans sa routine habituelle, il remarque qu'il aurait normalement déjà pris son petit-déjeuner et fait son lit à 7h15 (p.21). Pour ne pas être en retard, il décide de ne pas déjeuner. Le narrateur personnel qualifie l'heure restante jusqu'au début du service de "délai de grâce", ce qui montre l'importance de la ponctualité pour Jonathan. Au chapitre 4, il est de nouveau souligné qu'il est "ponctuel" (p.38) à 18h15 devant la banque.À la fin de l'histoire, son attitude change. Il se promène dans Paris sans se soucier de l'heure : "Il devait être près de neuf heures maintenant, mais il faisait toujours clair" (p.84). Cela montre son nouveau désintérêt pour l'heure.
