A hot-streak in the crossword puzzle

You're on the train, casually doing the crossword at the back of the free newspaper. You get a few words here and there, but you're no professional crossworder by any means. Suddenly an answer pops into your head and you write it down...which leads to you getting another answer and another and another! You're on a roll! A total hot-streak, filling squares in with vigour and pride. You get a giddy sense of excitement knowing that you filled in those words bam-bam-bam, and take a look around to see if anyone was watching. No one looks at you, but you thought you saw a lady's eyes turn away quickly when you brought your head up. You're one huge step closer to finishing the puzzle and look even harder for another
hot-streak to appear.
