...four books and a pocket book in her lap, who stared across the river at the back yards across the water in a dreamy way, and a young man opposite who spent his time reading a book upside down, and trying to intercept her gaze.

We have, to a certain extent, (though for fair reasons) been somewhat backward in contributing to sports.
