" If I start bad-mouthing his wife, who is it fixing to get hurt when they get back together?” [Margy, Russ’s mum]
“You think they’re going to get back together?” [Janet, Russ’s sister]
“I’d like to think . . .” Her voice trailed off. Even with the last turn of the stairs and the living room between them, Russ could hear his mother sigh. “Your brother is the closest thing I’ve ever seen to a real-life Horton the Elephant. He meant what he said and he said what he meant . . .”
“An elephant’s faithful one hundred percent,” Janet finished the quote.
Great. His entire personality could be summed up by Dr. Seuss. "
