Breakfast

Subject: Breakfast
Quote:  “Breakfast is the worst…. Because it all happens at once—eggs and bacon and hot milk and coffee and toast.  The milk boils over, or the toast burns, or the bacon frizzles, or the eggs go hard.  You have to be as active as a scalded cat watching everything at once.” 
Character:  Molly Davis
Chapter/Story:  “Three Blind Mice”
Book Title/Copyright:  The Mousetrap (Three Blind Mice and Other Stories), 1925-1949
