Sue Grafton Quotes
The Copse At Hurstbourne Is One Of Those Fancy-sounding Titles For A Brand-new Tract Of Condominiums On The Outskirts Of Town. 'Copse' As In 'a Thicket Of Small Trees.' 'Hurst' As In 'hillock, Knoll, Or Mound.' And 'bourne' As In 'brook Or Stream.' All Of These Geological And Botanical Wonders Did Seem To Conjoin Within The Twenty Parcels Of The Development, But It Was Hard To Understand Why It Couldn't Have Just Been Called Shady Acres, Which Is What It Was. Apparently People Aren't Willing To Pay A Hundred And Fifty Thousand Dollars For A Home That Doesn't Sound Like It's Part Of An Anglo-Saxon Land Grant. These Often Quite Utilitarian Dwellings Are Never Named After Jews Or Mexicans. Try Marketing Rancho Feinstein If You Want To Lose Money In A Hurry. Or Paco Sanchez Park. Middle-class Americans Aspire To Tone, Which Is Equated, Absurdly, With The British Gentry.
