“It is your job to make certain that doesn’t happen,” he said.

“And I will do my best. But they will also need the influence and guidance of someone who’s been where they are and knows how it feels.”

“It is wise to know the blunders of those who have gone before in order to avoid the same mistakes.”

“I’ll make new ones,” she teased.

“Let us hope they are not beheading offenses.”
