I was wondering the meaning of a phrase I have read by British authors. 

"... he said carelessly."

And example would be:

 "I've got two names," said Christopher Robin carelessly.

  What does in mean in Brit-speak to say something carelessly? It is not so=
mething we say 
or write in America much.

Thank you
