"Jim's son by a former marriage, Bob - the man is forty years old - called yesterday to invite us to go out to Oregon and help him with his mink ranch.  Jim would be doing whatever they do with minks, and I'd cook, buy the groceries, clean house, and do anything else that needed doing.  It's a chance for both of us."

- the character Mrs. Webster, from the short story "Fever"
by Raymond Carver
