Hmm, there will come a day that light of optimism will dim in you, love. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you.
You know of Petra?
Perhaps you are right, sir. Perhaps one day the world will crush me. But until that day arrives, I will try my best to hold firmly to my belief and optimism, as you call it.
Oh, yes, of course! Petra is a darling to work with and I adore her and her company quite the bit.
