"So many faces! I've encountered just so many over this lifetime", she said.

"How many?", he asked.

"I'm not sure... hundreds, thousands even!"

"That's a lot! What happened when you encountered them?"

"Do you think it wouldn't?"

"I don't know. I haven't heard of it happening often."

"Maybe you are right. But see, I made a promise."

"Ah! And what did you promise?"

"That I would at least try."
