Elizabeth Bales Frank
From The Cottagers by Marshall Klimasewiski
Laurel said, "It's just that I'm nice. I've always been nice. I hate the words, though, and I've always loved the word 'frank.' " She picked a pretty pink stone from the sand while speaking and showed it to Samina. "MY favorite characters in novels have always been the frank characters who go around setting others straight. But the thing is, now that I've started, I can't stop. Nor just with Greg, I've suddenly found myself being awfully frank with all sorts of poor, unsuspecting people, like our neighbors and the mailman, my mother. You'll be surprised to hear that not everyone takes it well."
I hear that, sister.
