( she makes no objection about her name, so either he did or she's just too well-bred to say anything, )
the boy may know more than he understands. His family might well wield the influence he claims - he might prove more forthcoming in time and reveal avenues we have not even considered. There are possibilities within him that we would do well not to carelessly quash before they can bear fruit. True enough that it may be a dead end - but we cannot know that so soon, and if we act precipitously on such an assumption we may live to regret it.
Obviously, there is no need for him to be a high priority, but we are not in the position to be throwing away tools because they don't best flatter our armor.
