Kippy, title character in my memoir, The Girl Who Talked Too Much, often wore an expression I thought of as ‘attentive curiosity’ with her eyebrows shot up into her bangs. Here, in an unusual silent moment, she was watching a Christmas program on TV. Just in case she had something to say, her right hand was ready to reflect the sound back to her ears by covering her mouth.
