You must come down from your official perch and see him at his amusements to know him thoroughly; and if you take an interest in them and not only take an interest in them but join him in them and better than all, beat him, then you will gain wrapping yourself up in official red tape.

I am perfectly certain that will do so if you support it with the same spirit as you have done in the past.
