Think nothing of it. The task of educating is not a chore but a privilege, and one scholar does always recognise another. I will look forward to hearing your insights should you choose to share them, though the gift carries no obligation save this: someday you will see that hungry look in the eye of another. Pass the books along then, and think fondly of me when you do.
You flatter me, though modesty (prudence, alas, is a lost cause if I haven't found it by now) forces me to disclaim a Venomous Tentacula would likely be a more popular instructor than my predecessor. Happy to tutor you through your educational shortcomings by journal throughout the year, though you may need to remind me, and please do.
My only requirement -- do not allow your work to suffer; my old friend would likely feed me to said Tentacula should I distract you too badly.
