Lord Byron's Novel
“I’m sorry I get flustered talking at such long distances—I don’t think I’ve ever got used to it—and then I could faintly hear myself echoed there, like I said, as though I could hear my words shooting off from some coastal station—I just couldn’t talk long.

Involved with is more plain and maybe truer too, because he was then already (I thought) in the process of becoming not involved with him any longer.MoreLess
