"But do be careful, my dear children! Don't lose your heads! Don't get overexcited! Keep very calm!" (15.1)
Wise advice from our Mr. Wonka. Of course it's immediately ignored by just about everyone (besides Charlie and Grandpa Joe).

"Oh, no! Please, Augustus, please! I beg of you not to do that. My chocolate must be untouched by human hands!" (17.1)
Now there's an interesting rule. Why must Mr. Wonka's chocolate "be untouched by human hands"? Is it because of germs? Or does Mr. Wonka have some other reason for this rule?
Quote 18
"But now, listen to me! I want no messing about when you go in! No touching, no meddling, and no tasting! Is that agreed?"
"Yes, yes!" the children cried. "We won't touch a thing!" (19.3-4)
From our experience so far, we know that this promise the children make is bound to be broken. Lo and behold, it is – this time by Violet Beauregarde.
