"Eavesdrop started off literally: first it referred to the water that fell from the eaves of a house, then came to mean the ground where the water fell. Eventually, eavesdropper described someone who stood within the eavesdrop of a house to overhear a conversation inside."

As For Me
Picture an older woman, with apron tied around her waist, and an ear tilted up to catch the argument coming from the neighbor's livingroom window.
Or if you remember "party lines," visualize someone covering the mouthpiece of the phone while listening to the "he said, I said" of a girl with an awful crush on the guy in her science class.
Eavesdropping is considered rude and invasive, but to the right, you will see my invitation to eavesdrop, as I enjoy conversations (of sorts) with authors possessing wisdom, talent, and lessons for my life.
Imagine Me Sticking To The Promised 50 Words,
Till then, I beg your forgiveness.
Lonnie
