Russell and Carpenter had certainly discussed this issue before, and they both believed that Master Gilbert would not accept the intentions of those people, so Carpenter, who was always sensitive in this regard, decided not to say anything.
But Russell felt that when even a small matter like whether to send out resources had to be asked, this matter actually needed to be clarified first.
This concerns what kind of attitude Gilbert should have towards the visitors; silence is not a good choice.
After all, no matter how bored their teacher is, he wouldn't pay attention to what the fools in the building across are doing. Carpenter's little girl's modesty, or what Russell always couldn't understand, pride, is best put aside at this time... what if Gilbert thinks Carpenter's heart is wavering?
Some things, if not severely rejected at the beginning, may later lead to people who are presumptuous and self-righteous, catching you off guard.
