Lady Splay groaned in despair. "Oh, I was sure you were going to ask that. You are so unpleasant." She put her hand to her forehead. "But I know quite well. Yes, I do." Her face suddenly cleared. "He is a conversationalist that's it a great conversationalist. He is the sort of man," she spoke as one repeating a lesson, "who would have been welcome at the breakfast table of Mr. Rogers." "Rogers?"
And I'll be proud to have you drop down and visit me now and then, too. Gin'rally I haven't anyone to talk to but the First Mate, bless his sociable heart. He's a mighty good listener, and has forgot more'n any MacAllister of them all ever knew, but he isn't much of a conversationalist. You're young and I'm old, but our souls are about the same age, I reckon.
But even in society his range was a narrow one, and he seems to have been successful mainly because he avoided positive effort. It is usual to speak of him as a remarkable conversationalist; but if by that term we mean to describe, a person who is distinguished for his eloquence, grace of expression, information, force and originality of thought, Burr was not a good converser.
"Do you really think we can get some of those fellows at Elmvale to go to the recruiting office and enlist?" "Yep. You fellows can tell 'em. You can talk better'n I can."

Not by any stretch of imagination could he be considered a brilliant conversationalist.
Indeed, it frequently happened that the word came in very inappropriately, as if tugged heroically to the front by a clumsy conversationalist. There is no hazard of life so certain to discover sympathy or antagonism as travel a fact which points to the wisdom of beginning married life with a journey. The majority of people like to know the worst at once.
