“I was reading about old Queen Vic. Well, maybe she outlived her time. Maybe she was a museum piece, but she never lost her dignity, nor sold her guns. She hung on to her pride and went out in style. That’s the kind of an old gal I'd like to meet.” — J. B. Books, “The Shootist” https://t.co/P7JnYlaSJd
