Father Time keeps the exchange and he does not barter, a minute spent is not redeemable, what’s done is done, kerplop! Into the river it drops flowing ever on and away until it joins the Styx and crosses over to the unknown realm of death and what comes after. However, Father says good deeds are favors on deposit for crossover at the end, and may be exchanged for treasure of the immortal kind. Time can never be regained, but deeds done unselfishly without regard for a reward, are Father Time’s most highly placed.
