“Some people,” the Lady said,
“are scared of me. Can you beat
that? Scared of an old woman in her one

here can’t even keep no supper down! You
love your husband, Miz Mackenson?”
“Yes, I do. Very much.”
“That’s good. Love strong and true can get you through a
lot of dookey. And I’m here to tell you,
honey, you got to walk through many fields of dookey to get to be my age.”
(from Boy’s Life by Robert McCammon)
