This woman she reads the newspapers back to front because by the time she gets past the sports page she feels like there can't possibly be anything worse further on. The ads are the most interesting because of their sincerity, she reads the ads more closely than she does the Business page and thinks often of people who would appreciate this habit. They're real people, industrious people, but the one thing even they wouldn't understand is the way she makes up words just to get the crossword finished. Mornings are always happier without empty boxes, besides she never checks the results. To go back and find out what you already knew was wrong seems such a waste.
