There's much you don't know, much I can't tell you, she said. But trust me when I say that if I were you, I wouldn't shed my armor for the sake of a kind word or a gentle touch. That's my advice to you, from one monster to another.

That all anyone talks about when they talk about you are the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo? And her answer was quintessential Evelyn. "No," she told me. "Because they are just husbands. I am Evelyn Hugo, And anyway, I think once people know the truth, they will be much more interested in my wife."
