“Conversation is a traffick; and if you enter into it, without some stock of knowledge, to ballance the account perpetually betwixt you,the trade drops at once: and this is the reason ... why travellers have so little [good] conversation with natives,owing to their [the natives] suspicion ... that there is nothing to be extracted from the conversation ... worth the trouble of their bad language.”
