"Books are a fine place to start, but there are some things a book cannot teach. Some things come from experience. Some from asking questions."
It's his turn to smile sadly, and he brushes his fingers over Alfred's cheek lightly. "Thank you for saying so, Alfred. I am not so good as all that. But thank you for thinking so."
