Big waves. Little waves. Dark waves, rollin' in! Page after page! I had to take a Dramamine to get through chapter three!Barbara Thorndyke: Blanche, the waves are a metaphor. You see, a metaphor...Blanche: I know what a metaphor is, dear. I'm not a dummy.Rose Nylund: Blanche, what's a metaphor?Blanche: It's when you use a phrase to mean somethin' else. Like when I say "Men are blinded by my beauty". They're not really blinded. They get their sight back in a day or two!
