Well, as she said in the CCF programme, that she has to look for patterns and then find what's missing. The Belgian conversation was rather like that.

For example, Mr Pontner mentioned grain allotments and then the Belgian trade minister said something like 'If you would lower the tariff on wine, we could shift more barley' and of course, what he meant was that if they could export more wine, they would import more beer. Things like that. And loads was in the way they were talking to one another, how friendly they were (or weren't), and so on.
