Conversation
is
the
most
sociable
of
all
human
activities.
And
it
is
an
activity
only
of
humans.
However
intricate
the
way
in
which
animals
communicate with each other, they do not indulge in anything that deserves
the name of conversation.

The charm of conversation is that it does not really start from anywhere,
and no one has any idea where it will go as it meanders or leaps and sparkles
or
just
glows.
The
enemy
of
good
conversation
is
the
person
who
has
鈥?/p>
something to say.
鈥?/p>
Conversation is not for making a point. Argument may
often
be
a
part
of
it,
but
the
purpose
of
the
argument
is
not
to
convince.
There
is
no winning in conversation. In fact, the best conversationalists are
those who are prepared to lose. Suddenly they see the moment for one of their
best
anecdotes,
but
in
a
flash
the
conversation
has
moved
on
and
the
opportunity is lost. They are ready to let it go.

Perhaps
it
is
because
of
my
upbringing
in
English
pubs
that
I
think
bar
conversation has a charm of its own. Bar friends are not deeply involved in
each
other
鈥?/p>
s
lives.
They
are
companions,
not
intimates.
The
fact
that
their
marriages may be on the rock, or that their love affairs have broken or even
that they got out of bed on the wrong side is simply not a concern. They are
like the musketeers of Dumas who, although they lived side by side with each
other,
did
not
delve
into
each
other
鈥?/p>
s
lives
or
the
recesses
of
their
thoughts
and
feelings.

It was on such an occasion the other evening, as the conversation moved
desultorily here and there, from the most commonplace to thoughts of Jupiter,
without
any
focus
and
with
no
need
for
one,
that
suddenly
the
alchemy
of
conversation took place, and all at once there was a focus. I do not remember
what made one of our companions say it
鈥?/p>
she clearly had not come into the
