I want to know did he say it aloud or didn't. Details are below: It is an extract from the book “The kite runner”: When he spoke again, he sounded as baffled as he looked. "How can you call him your 'friend'?" "But he's not my friend! I almost blurted. He's my servant!" Had I really thought that? Of course I hadn't. I hadn't. I treated Hassan well, just like a friend, better even, more like a brother. So, I confused about "I almost blurted" I want to know: did he say aloud the phrases "But he is not my friend" and “He is my servant” or didn't

How can I say that in English "Время бежит очень быстро." and "Время тянется очень медленно" I need correct translation from Russian into English. Thanks.
