Ford herself recounted how people would peer in the windows at the most inopportune moments, such as the day she stepped out from a bath only to find several ladies observing her through the glass. She famously went to the front door and asked the ladies if they, too, would like a bath in her house.

Malami

Some students came in wanting encouragement and a pat on the shoulder; she was not that kind of teacher. Not until they'd earned it. What they got until that time was criticism and instruction, usually in the form of some biting pet phrase: Where'd you get that color? You need glasses! Let me sit down here; I'll show you how it's done.
