Fighter

Subject: Fighter
Quote: “You’re a fighter… I like fighters, and I assure you that I don’t intend to give in tamely. In a way I’m going to enjoy the fight. You know, when everything’s too easy and things go too well one gets—I don’t know the exact word I mean—complacent? Bored? A kind of hybrid of the two. But I’m not bored now and I’m not complacent and I’m going to fight with every ounce of strength I’ve got, and with every penny I’ve got, too.”
Character: Miss Bulstrode
Chapter/Story: 21—Gathering Threads
