Quickly- for the sake of not doing too much too soon- she adds, "Not that I'm proposing to drag you to the depths of some dungeon somewhere as fast as possible to, ah- show you the ropes." That's dreadful, Irene. "But doesn't everyone like talking about their career? And...demonstrating. I am an expert, Mr Xavier- you may as well make use of the fact."
