May I have a Bibliomancy reading? Any book you choose :)
Random.org chose Out of Oz.
”..She’d collapse over Glinda’s grave with dry, red eyes, and then take up a new position somewhere else.
The tedious never die; that’s what makes them tedious.”
—
The “she” the excerpt refers to is an old servant that Glinda hired, and Glinda kind of wants to get rid of her but can’t come up with a decent reason. The servant is old, boring, easily offended, and just has nothing remarkable about her. Glinda is referring sarcastically to how the old woman just won’t die; even if Glinda died, she would go on working somewhere else.
A tedious person or task that can’t be gotten rid of. At the same time, a predictable, dependable person that will always be there, whether one wants them to be or not. Monotony from stability.
