That's very true.  It's also interesting that she described these 
qualities as "latent," that is to say non-active and probably hard to 
detect. Evidently she doesn't consider his actions to this point to 
have revealed these good qualities.  Which means there may be some 
hope of change in the great, greasy git after all.
