"[A] rare light note is given by Martha Nussbaum’s anecdote of lunch at Murdoch’s grand but notoriously squalid home on the Cotswolds. Only a fatty paté, which ‘Murdoch ate absentmindedly with her fingers’, and cherries were on offer, neither of which Nussbaum could stomach. Yet, she affirms, after being subjected to Murdoch’s unnerving gaze, ‘I had no doubt…that Murdoch could have described me, after an hour, far more precisely than any lover of mine after some years’. I cannot speak for Professor Nussbaum’s lovers, but I can’t help thinking that if a hostess of mine was unable to tell when I was nauseated by the grisly food on offer, I would not bet the farm on her vast yet hidden powers of observation. Or perhaps Murdoch, undoubtedly neglectful of her guest, was being malicious rather than obtuse. In any event, not much by way of manifesting the Good—but there wasn’t a pudding in sight."
