John Irving Quote
A man you like, you mean, Tabitha? my grandmother asked. I wouldn’t mention him if I didn’t like him, my mother said. I want you to meet him, she said to us all. You’ve dated him? my grandmother asked. No! I just met him—just today, on today’s train! my mother said. And already you like him? Lydia asked, in a tone of voice so perfectly copied from my grandmother that I had to look to see which one of them was speaking. Well, yes, my mother said seriously. You know such things. You don’t need that much time.
