"She say, I know Albert and I bet he been up to something, with you looking as fine as you look.
     Us sew, I say. Make idle conversation.
     How idle? she ast.
     What do you know, I think. Shug jealous. I have a good mind to make up a story just to make her feel bad. But I don't.
     Us talk bout you, I say. How much us love you.
     She smile, come put her head on my breast. Let out a long breath."

- Alice Walker, The Color Purple
