Terence said calmly in a matter-of-fact manner as he had expected him to call. It came a little bit sooner than he thought, however.

"Terence, let me tell you this. You're nowhere near as composed and prudent as your elder brother is. Unlike you, he always looks at the bigger picture and never acts on an impulse."
