Gabriel smiled at him. "I'm not telling you to be a fool. I'm not saying there aren't folk with ill intentions about. You needn't go wander the yards and lanes at night in your fanciest clothes. But you can offer what you have, and you'll find that more often than not, they will be glad to offer you what they have to offer in return. I'm planning a meeting to discuss some of this town's problems. I'm inviting a diversity of people. Why don't you come. It will give you an opportunity to help, and it will give you a chance to meet people."
