Kitty refrains from telling Steve what I probably would have, that a presidential race is a sweet feather in the old résumé cap but perhaps not the place to look for a nurturing mentor; she merely says that Robert does appreciate Steve’s efforts, he’s told Kitty so “a hundred times.” Steve asks why, then, he feels “so beat up” every time he shows Robert his work. Because he’s running for president, Steverino, not sensei-ing you in your prose career. Toughen up.
