Clue did not know what to think of Miss Fraser's assertion that "It is important to frame one's questions carefully" — it was something a Professor might say to a pupil. This alerted Clue to the possibility that she was regarding him as a child in need of lessons; perhaps sparked by the opening of their conversation, in which she'd advised him on which fork to use for which course. He didn't mind, really. But this feeling did make him feel a little more distanced from his conversation partner.

It seemed she was curious as to who was the most powerful soul he'd ever met. "You don't know him", Clue replied, partly because there was no reason why she would be acquainted with a slovenly London butcher, and partly because he would not be spilling his past traumas here at the fanciest dining event he'd ever attended.
