"Darling, the person who could do the most damage if pushed will never be who worries me most." Not that powerful people don't bear knowing, or that she wouldn't want that list too. As part of this conversation or answer.

But it's the pushing that makes her worry less.

She can't argue that her question isn't vague, though.

"I suppose in the end there are some things I'll have to find out for myself. Hopefully not the hard way..."

Her lips tighten and she tries again: "Who would you say I should avoid offending, if I can?"
