The trouble with pretending to have no emotions beyond a vague benevolence is that after a while you start to believe your lies. But that I do not display my emotions does not mean I do not have them. Oh, no,” he added a little more softly, “it does not indeed. Benevolent I think I can generally claim to be, but calm, disinterested, and serene I am not.”
