A Newspaper and a Widow

A newspaper and a Widow The old widow across the hall has been coughing loudly during the night I thought of knocking on her door. Decided against because of the virus she might have. Well, she is not coughing now. I have read the guardian newspaper a confessed paper for “the educated middle-class” I should not read it as I´m not their class of people nor do I wish to become one. I used to write comments to there but was barred, so I use Twitter instead but it has some good writers, so it is worth reading. There are times when the paper is left-leaning, but it easily panics and hurries back to safe middle ground. I´m worried about the lady across the hall, her husband had been a high-ranking officer in the army, she is too quiet, perhaps she is dead, I better speak to the porter.
