The point in Revelation where Mary Grace launches herself across the waiting room to dig her hands into Mrs. Turpin's neck had me spitting out my coffee the morning I read it. So perfect.

It's funny, because I almost wrote that one of the characters she uses in a few of her stories, that I find funny, is the angry fat acne-faced kid. She will say their face is purple with acne.
And she always writes "oncet". I get a kick out of that for some reason.
