Quote from Blanche in End of the Curse
Blanche: I was in bed, eating. If I don't get up and walk around, I'm going to become as big as a hippo. And life, if I can still call it that, has to go on in one form or the other, so here I am. I'll just spend my remaining years in the company of women. Only reason I'm sticking around is to read Danielle Steel's next book.
