Public words and political correctness

[摘要] Who owns one's conversation? I'd take a dim view if someone listened at my door and then broadcast what I'd said. Not that I am likely to say anything that anyone would want to know about. But I was on a train when the woman directly behind me started a loud conversation with her literary agent about a book proposal. To begin with it was merely a nuisance. Then it became interesting when she announced that it would be a follow-on to her book on Highgrove, that George had redone the house, and the angle would be to match the music to the house, not that she liked the music herself. My suspicions about George were confirmed when she said that Olivia had rung her yesterday.
