"We were part of the Idaho land aristocracy. We owned the walls we had our backs up against."

"It looked as if her pants were painted on; one coat, no primer." (my paraphrase of this one)

I don't have many books on my shelf these days, but I have most of McManus prior to his novels.

I never read his mystery novels but the guy was a great writer and humorist.
