[Artemisia] Reading

[Stephanae Baker]

Sir Conrad,

You're right that I can see a small difference, and you're also right  
that I don't agree. There's a skill called skim-reading. If you lack  
it, find me at Baron's War, and I'll be happy to help you acquire it.  
If you have that skill, it will be just as if the people in the  
uninteresting conversations were moderating their volume and you were  
politely tuning them out--although if you suddenly heard a word or  
two that interested you, you could tune back in.
