Oh the horror.<br /><br />Actually Watts' account of this is a laugh riot. Basically he took the approach of neglecting to describe the extremely non-threatening qualities of his assailant while playing up the entirely verbal "assault" (the actual nature of which was to ask some hard questions, and even to add a couple on her way out while complying with a request to leave).
