Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It’s the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all.
How do we define this lively darting about with words, of hitting them back and forth, this sort of brief smile of ideas which should be conversation?
