Fitting People with Characters

"From the first moment she had set out on her travels, it had been one of Sally's principle amusements to examine the strangers whom chance threw her way and try by the light of her intuition to fit them out with characters and occupations: nor had she been discouraged by an almost consistent failure to guess right." - from "The Adventures of Sally"

My friend Rachel and I used to sit on benches on University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto during our high school days and make up stories about the people passing by.
It's people-watching, only better.
