Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'I still like ?Dodsworth?, and now am a little sorry for Mrs. She certainly does seem to lose herself and he is something of a dunderhead though he is so honest and well meaning. If she were more honest with herself, and had more of his normal sort of simplicity she would do better for herself and perhaps get more out of him. She has him scared stiff.'
