    People liked to talk; there were very few exceptions; the question was how you made them do it. Some, <...>. were amenable to alcohol; others liked a spotlight; and then there were those who merely needed proximity to another conscious human being. A subsection of humanity would become loquacious only on one favourite subject: it might be their own innocence, or somebody else's guilt; it might be their collection of pre-war biscuit tins; or it might, <...>, be the hopeless passion of plain secretary.
