| My work was, as I have tried to convey before, a combination of [[explorer]] and [[companion]]. For we in my [[profession]] found need for [[ambition]] to [[study]] people. We had already studied ourselves sufficiently to become [[bored]] with our own standing. Therefore we ventured into more [[primitive]] societies. And in order to be welcome, we [[adapted]] and took on the [[qualities]] of those primitive [[societies]] to a great extent. All, of course, in the name of [[science]]. I am therefore [[experienced]] with reaching down and with finding great [[enjoyment]] in my [[companions]] on that [[adventurous]] level. Perhaps it was my earlier work as [[explorer]]/companion which gave me an edge in becoming your [[teacher]]. I am, however, becoming rather gabby myself.
