She never said what she thought for she never thought.

She never said anything in answer to what was said to her, for she never listened.
Nervous talkers never do listen.

That is one of their most striking characteristics.
I knew of two well-known men--both great talkers--who were invited to dine.

Their host thought, as each man talked a great deal and--, as he thought--talked very well, if they could meet their interchange of ideas would be most delightful.

Several days later he met one of his guests in the street and asked how he liked the friend whom he had met for the first time at his house.
"Very pleasant, very pleasant," the man said, "but he talks too much." Not long after this the other guest accosted him unexpectedly in the street "For Heaven's sake, don't ask me to dine with that Smith again--why, I could not get a word in edgewise." Now, if only for selfish reasons a man might realize that he needs to absorb as well as give out, and so could make himself listen in order to be sure that his neighbor did not get ahead of him.
