“I hear dogs a woo-wooing,” she said.

“Yes, honey, the dogs are mine and they are woo-wooing because they’re happy they found you.”
Virginia Lanier, Death in Bloodhound Red

“How should I act… to be considered a real Southerner?

“First, don’t forget ‘You all.’ It’s slurred together and comes out sound like ‘Yawl,’ the word for a small sailboard. Next, always say ‘Yes ma’am’ and ‘no sir’ to everyone, regardless of their age. Walk out to meet your clients, never sit behind your desk and make them come to you. It makes them think they are important to you. Also, walk them out and prolog the goodbyes, even if you’re very busy. We rednecks have a lot of pride; we like to think we’re special and want to be treated special.”
Virginia Lanier, Death in Bloodhound Red

“I glared at him. “My dogs are professionals. Their job is scent tracking. They are neither attack dogs nor guard dogs. You could have shot them and they would lick your hand. They are the gentlest of all breeds. Of course, if you had shot them you’d now be dead meat.” I couldn’t tell whether he smiled or grimaced. It was hard to ready any expression behind the mask he wore.”
Virginia Lanier, Death in Bloodhound Red
