In Miss Brill, what did she enjoy the most?

I think Miss Brill enjoyed the cumulative effects of her
Sunday outings the most, she enjoyed life on those days. She looked forward to the
"season", the leaves were changing colors and the band always played on Sundays. Part of
her outings were getting dressed, she talked to her wrap. She enjoyed "people watching",
she made comments about the old couple, the man with the funny moustache, and the woman
who had turned grey (hair once was yellow). She considered herself an expert at
listening to peoples conversations and drawing conclusions from them. She enjoyed making
observations about other's behaviors, when the lady dropped her flowers and the boy
picked them up for her, then the lady threw them away. Miss Brill thought that was rude.
She liked the enormity of it all, she enjoyed life.

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
