Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'She is a woman of the artisan class, aged about 35. She was dressed in a brown coat with a fur collar, and had a scarf on her head. With her she brought two blankets, two cushions, some sweets and a book. She came with a man of 35, presumably her husband, and another of 50. At first she lay on the bench in the position marked 6 in the diagram with her head against a case; later she lay on the floor. At first she read, but by 10 o'clock she put the book away. Until one o'clock she lay doing nothing, twice falling asleep for a few minutes but both times waking up again soon.'
