Objective Narrator

The idea
The glossary says an objective narrator establishes setting in a precise but rather detached style and then lets the conversation tell the story. No thoughts are reported at all. The reader is given behaviour and speech and must infer everything interior.
In practice
Behaviour and speech, no thoughts.
Where people slip
Everything interior is inferred.
