Tonight we used our guns, comrade lieutenant. You have so quick an ear. How many, do you think, were made to drop into the pit tonight?
You have so quick an ear - You are the first one to hear that?
I guess it's an old idiom, Google doesn't help. Any guesses?
Thanks!

1653, was buried within the precincts of St. Botolph, near Aldersgate. Cxutterbuck, Richard, born at Rodborough in 1638, though perfectly blind, had so quick an ear, that he could hear the fine sand of an hour-glass fall, and such exquisite feeling, that he could perform almost any sort of curious work, such as making heads for canes, and all sorts of string musical instruments
