This habit of inattentive listening, it is not rash to hazard, is fairly. widespread, and, indeed, is probably common to most families. How many people sit down and give their whole attention to what is being said? Is it not true to say that there are those who try to read and listen at the same time; that a visitor or member of the family may interject a remark that destroys the whole thread, or, again, that the wireless pro- gramme may be no more than a background to the family routine and chatter?
