“Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers.”
“A sulking sister is better than a scolding sister.”
“She was lost to me, a sister who did not love her sister anymore. Such a stupid thing, striking that match.”
“Like sisters throughout time, whatever battles raged between them, it was always, always, all four of them against the rest of the world.”
“Chickens are annoying. Is that why people eat them? My sister is annoying, but nobody eats her.”
“Speaking of lunacy,' remarked Pyrgus later, 'are you in love with my sister?'Oh, yes!' Henry said at once.”
