Ann Charles, Dead Case in Deadwood

“For some stupid reason, I had this irrational need to prove to Cooper that I could inspect dead bodies over black coffee and maple bars just like him and the other guys on the police force.

“Lucille,” Norma Jean whispered loud enough for me to hear from my foliage hideout. She leaned over her walker and adjusted her glasses. “Is that Willis Harvey up front by Elsa?”

“Well, pinch my pooch, I believe it is,” Lucille said. “I barely recognize him with his clothes on.”
Ann Charles, Dead Case in Deadwood

“I’m not ‘stubborn.’”

“Oh, really?”

Lifting my chin, I said, “I’m determined.” (Violet to Doc)”
