Miss Brill is obviously a creature of habit, which is something that we learn in this story when her visit to the park is described. We know that she goes to the park every Sunday and that she sits on the same bench, to the extent that she thinks of it as hers. While she is at the park, Miss Brill likes to speak to whoever is also sitting on that bench when she reaches it. Sometimes she has more success than others with engaging these people. If the people on the bench do not seem interested in talking to her, Miss Brill likes to engage in crowd-watching or listening to whatever musical performance is being played in the bandstand.

Miss Brill also likes to buy a slice of honeycake at the baker's on her way home from the park as a Sunday treat.

During the week, there are two things mentioned in passing which she enjoys. First of all, she has "English pupils," so presumably she is a teacher of English. Miss Brill also considers telling the story of her Sunday at the park to an "invalid" old man she visits on weekdays. She reads the paper to the old man four afternoons a week, although he is usually sleeping while this happens. Miss Brill obviously enjoys his company even when he is so quiet that he might as well be dead without her noticing.
