The reply was unruffled but solemnly spoken, "Forgive me, and consider it never asked, I was unaware of the exact consequences of answering it."
"I can't promise I will never ask you questions but I can promise if you give me good reason that you won't have to answer them. If there is anything else you think I should know please tell me. If not I hope we can get around to the question I am meaning to ask as many trainees as possible-- How is training going?"
