I'm kind of surprised that Leah would even attempt to use something like a Brooks (Champion) Special saddle when she seems to prefer an upright riding position such as some of the current Riv models she favors support. I currently use such a saddle on one of my road bikes, but I like it because I ride with road bars and my body is more or less at a 45 degree angle with respect to the frame/bars. Currently, I myself am attempting to "break in" a Brooks B-17 "narrow" and after 300-400 miles it's still not comfortable. But such is life with road bars and saddles.
