... A Compulsive Talker friend has trapped you, and you, being a Kind Person don't want to hurt the CT's feelings.
... When you can't last out a moment longer, you press the Secret Control in a pocket or handbag handle and yes, your Latest Fully-featured Cellphone rings imperatively.
... With
a Polite Excuse you listen intently to nothing, saying to your CT, with Complete Honesty, "Sorry I've just got to run. See you again," ... and scram.
