What it sounds like
Take your time; we can wait.
What it really means
“You’re late, and I’m calling attention to it while pretending it doesn’t bother me.”
Said today
“No rush—we only agreed to meet at ten.”
What was happening
Simon arrives after the agreed ten o’clock meeting time. Anthony’s polite-sounding remark makes the delay conspicuous, with Simon’s confirmation that they did agree on ten sharpening the sarcasm.
