Ford didn't know if she meant your life in the sense of the general you, suggestions and opinions of one's life, or if she meant Ford specifically. Barnaby Wye was very open with suggestions and opinions about Ford's life specifically, but that wasn't something he was especially keen to share — particularly given that some of Wye's advice was along the lines of go find yourself a mistress.
He decided to take it as the general you. "Yes," he said with a nod. "Do you — not have much experience with ghosts, then?" He knew most people would answer that they didn't, but it was still incredible to him. She'd gone to Hogwarts, after all, like most of England did — Hogwarts had ghosts in residence that she would surely have met. Ghosts were everywhere in the magical world, but so many people just never paid them any mind. It was quite a departure from Ford's experiences, since he had always gone out of his way to strike up conversations with spirits.
