Quote #10

Elisenda let out a sigh of relief, for herself and for him, when she saw him pass over the last houses, holding himself up in some way with the risky flapping of a senile vulture. (13)

Elisenda isn't even wowed that his guy finally upped and flew away. In fact, she just thinks of him as "senile." Wow, Elisenda. You get your satin pumps thanks to this guy, and the best you can come up with is "senile." (Oh, and, hey—will you guys remind us to call our grandmother to thank her for that birthday check?)
