Myrtle Reed
Image
If there's anythin' on earth that can be more tryin' than any kind of relative, I don't know what it is, but relatives by marriage comes first - easy.

Image
Three things I have longed to see ... The sea serpent, a white rhinoceros, and an unselfish man.
Myrtle Reed
Image
Married and unmarried women waste a great deal of time in feeling sorry for each other.
Myrtle Reed
