The woman had a
severe
backache that troubled her sporadically. She worked as an advertising
agent and
felt herself superior to others. She showed disregard toward anyone in
a
service profession such as a waitor or office assistant. When her back
troubled
her, she had to lie prone, and she felt horribly trapped in that
condition. Her
proportions showed the cause of her pain. She had an overly large head
and a
small, thin neck. The pressure on the neck caused the back pain. She
also had a
characteristic habit of walking around with her head bent slightly
forward. It
was a striking characteristic; everyone noticed. Though she was
predominant in
the company, few people respected her. If she had narrated her own
story,
however, she might have told it differently than I did.
