Eyeblink Chess: A Good Move, Poorly Timed

Some moves are very common in the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+): Bxf7+, Nxe5+, Qh5+ for White, for example; and ...Kf8, ...Qf6 or ...Qe7 for Black. Good moves have to be played at the right time, however, as my opponent learned in the following game.
