Another part of the New Yorker project. Open for all input.

Now completely done.

Which is to say, (for the touchy reviewer) that I have put in all the information I know of that I think belongs in there, and that I have corrected all the grammar and punctuation that I beleive needs correcting, and I therefore await further input from other sets of eyes to make it even better, and even more 'done'.

Done again. Overdone, perhaps?

Smashingly?

Perhaps, in keeping with British style, you should say "university"?

The salt footnotes are a great touch!

Could we have a phrase or two of background on her? What she did for a living, where she was from, etc...

I think that's it for this one!

they have college there too. Aurora tried to explain the difference to me, but just confused me more. Possibly they're confused enough themselves that it won't matter. Anyway, if I do change it, it says University two times in once sentence - which is my main objection. I say wait and see in PR.

oh yeah, other changes made. Althea was apparently nothing special: just ambitious and pretty, and probably the source of Thurber's overbearing wives.
