Watch out then - these walls have ears. They might just be waiting for you to say something like this, so they can start talking to you.

But, my dear, I know my walls have ears. I chat with them all the time. The only problem is that they seldom respond.

That's because they need mouths to talk, xara. And whoever heard of walls with mouths?!

Perhaps not the walls, but what about the window dressing. Haven't you ever heard a curtain call?

Very droll, belM. I've heard walls can weep if not treated properly by their builders.

I've heard walls talk, she said stonily (hi, auntie).
What did one wall say to the other, you ask?
"Meet you at the corner".

A long time ago, I read this advice to lonely trappers in Alaska: There is no big problem with you talking to your stove - but if it starts answering, you should think of seeing a good doctor.

That's insupportable!
Surely they must drive one another round the bend.

I thought I heard a whisper in the wings, but missed my cue.
I must have been playing pocket pool.

but what about the window dressing.

I've always thought that a very dodgy thing to do - on the lines of, "People who live in glss-houses shouldn't undress with the light on."
