"I...don't think so?" Isshiri said. "At least, not in Glass, but the world is very big. What does it mean? I can guess, but I don't want to offend you if I'm wrong." One thing he'd learned--one thing Mother had made sure he'd learned--before he even thought of leaving home, was how not to make assumptions. That way, if he offended someone, he could be damn sure there was a reason.

Not that he'd necessarily put it into practice--though, he'd shown what he would call a remarkable restraint in Feredar, until he'd decided to get himself arrested and...okay, maybe not the best example.
