One thing I know is that if you don't want one to do something - for example, go into a room where there's a portrait of an unbearably beautiful princess- saying \"It might cost you your life\" is about the worst thing you can possibly say. Because then that's all that young person will want to do. I mean, why didn't Johannes say something else? Like, \"It's a broom closet. Why? you want to see a broom closet?\" Or, \"It's a fake door, silly. For decoration.\" Or even, \"It's the ladies' bathroom, Your Majesty. Best not go poking your head in there.”",
