Extemporizing

"She took up her position as directed." Troy courts Bathsheba; Cornhill illustration by Helen Paterson Allingham.

"It is safer to accept any chance that offers itself, and extemporize a procedure to fit it, than to get a good plan matured, and wait for a chance of using it."

~ Thomas Hardy, from Far from the Madding Crowd
