“We’re too rich to be well liked. We’re also too rich to feel sorry for ourselves.”

Talk about rich people problems

‘His strong fingers bit down into my shoulder’s tender flesh. “You look lovely—like an angel.”

Was that a compliment, or a suggestion?

He smiled at me cynically, then snatched his arm away as if it had betrayed him.

I laughed nervously.’

Everything is incest in this house

‘“You damned freaky hypocrite!” she yelled back at Bart. “I heard at your birthday party that you do your share of using the local brothel . . .”’

Get em!!

“I know drunken men and women will eventually try to fornicate with someone other than whom they came with. I remember your birthday party and what went on. Sinful modern life makes me realize how pure the world was when I was young. Nothing is the same as it used to be. People knew how to act decently in public then, no matter what they did behind closed doors....”

Can this man die already

“His younger brother was someone I never really liked, but he’s changed, Cathy, he has, really. No man who really hates women can make love as he does . . .”

Melodie WTF

“And you seem far too young to be in your fifties. My father used to say the wicked always managed to stay young and healthy longer than those who had a place waiting for them in Heaven.”

👁️👄👁️

“You’ve got the most beautiful mouth, and a strong chin. Only weak-chinned men should hide behind beards.”

Lmao

Bart's mom out here telling him to "stop making love" to his sister-in-law 💀

“This house wants to use the people inside as a way to keep it living on forever. It’s like a vampire, sucking our lifeblood from all of us. I wish it hadn’t been restored....”

🎵 I THINK I'M GONNA DIE IN THIS HOUSE 🎵

‘“I don’t doubt for a minute you are sorry!” he shouted. “So sorry to see all the glamour disappear in a flashing moment, and now you’re stuck with a crippled husband! Well, you’re not stuck, Melodie! You can file for divorce tomorrow and leave!”’

Jory nooo

“...I’d want you for my own if you weren’t my brother.”

Cindy why would you say this lmao

“I know what you’re thinking, because Joel is always muttering about me being without morals . . . I’m trying hard to hang on to them, really I am. Yet I don’t know how long I can keep myself a virgin.”

Why is she telling her mom all of this??? 😭

‘“Is my spine broken?”

“Yes.”

“Are my legs paralyzed?”

“Yes.”’

Bro I can't with these books

“Every wife or husband seemed to be trying to score with any member of the opposite sex besides their spouses.”

Wtf lol

‘“You are a creep, brother Bart. A weird pervert who doesn’t know what the real world is about. I bet you’re a virgin, or else gay!”’

I can't with this stupid book 💀

‘I could have slapped Cindy when I heard her say silkily, “Bart, darling, I was so sure you’d love this scarlet gown . . . since you think I’m a cheap, trashy thing, anyway, I’m just living up to your expectations—and playing the role you wrote for me.”

In one flashing bound he reached her. His open palm slammed against her cheek.’

Lmao omg

“I didn’t know where Cindy had found the shocking red dress she wore. It seemed the kind a hooker would wear to display her charms.”

Omg no 💀

“He’d always wanted birthday parties, like the ones we threw for Jory and Cindy, yet when they came around, he somehow managed to antagonize every guest so that many left early, and usually in a huff.”

Bart is outta control

‘“Have it your way,” answered Jory. In a moment he was swinging Cindy off her feet, whirling her around and around, making her blue skirt fly and reveal skimpy bikini panties. It amused me to see that Cindy still dressed from the skin out in one color.

[...]

“Like mother like daughter,” mumbled Bart from behind me.’

Bart not the incest dig 💀

‘“Oh, gosh, Momma, you do have two beautiful sons,” she whispered as she stared at their bronzed, strong bodies. “I never thought Bart would grow up to be just as handsome as Jory, not when he was such an ugly little brute.”’

👁️👄👁️

‘“...I knew you saved the best of your love for Jory. Then, after Cindy came, you gave your second best to her. You had nothing left to give me but pity—and I hate you for pitying me!”’

Bart take a chill pill Jesus
