When a homemaking aunt scolds a niece for following her evangelistic passion instead of domestic pursuits, her reply is interesting.

Why were you lurking under our window? Yes - yes, good point, Petunia! What were you doing under our windows, boy? Listening to the news, said Harry in a resigned voice. His aunt and uncle exchanged looks of outrage. Listening to the news! Again? Well, it changes every day, you see, said Harry.
