| Quote #10 "I’m thirty-four, you know. I’m not going to be one of those bitches that ruins children." (19.49) |
Brett’s affair with Romero (who’s only nineteen) has forced her to confront her conscience for the first time – yes, she actually has one! Her obsessive wondering in the last two chapters about whether or not she is a "bitch" reaches its culmination here, where she has apparently made up her mind not to be one.
