"A little trouble here and there," Clara says, "and that's all I want to say on the matter! It'll be rude to gossip behind her back when she can't even find out if she is being gossiped or not."
Being talked about behind one's back is awful. More so if the gossiper is a ghost. That's extra rude. Clara finds herself privy to a lot of things she shouldn't know thanks to her existence. If she can't keep away from those scenarios, literally stumbling upon them by accident or being right there when it happens, the next best thing she tries is to keep it as it is: A secret.
"And I mean, that's true but I suppose it depends on the person." And clearly Clara is someone who doesn't like to eavesdrop on people willy nilly if she can help it. "And you know how people can be! So different and varied from how we eat to how we act to certain things. Its hard to predict what will go at times no matter how average we seem day-to-day over coffee and biscotti."
