Intro Chapter 5 Quote:

“Yeah. I don’t know who tries my patience more, Childress or that Lizzie French. You know I ran into her a little while ago. She was talking to some of the other members from the Historical Society about drafting some kind of proclamation on morality or some such nonsense and bringing it before the townspeople. Says she’s tired of so much “loose morality and heathenism” in the country and that Trinity’s Land End should try to set an example to the world. The heathenism part I think she said explicitly for my effect. Anyway, we just looked at each other like she was from Venus and I was from Mars and that was that. I swear that woman will not be satisfied until the “Republic of Gilead” is finally established, and we can do away with the Constitution and be ruled by Old Testament religious dogma. I’m sure of it.”

He chuckled.

“There’s a reference in there to something literary and profound but I’m afraid I have no idea.”

“Oh never mind me Detective, it’s just something out of a wonderful but frightening little book called The Handmaid’s Tale. It was one of the books Lizzie tried to have banned from the library last year and it happens to be my oldest girl’s favorite.”

“Banning books, now there’s a past time. I wonder what kind of far-reaching benefit does she imagine the adoption of her pointless proclamation would have? She can’t seriously believe the state legislature would give it any credence. Does she really believe the American government should be run in the fear of God, like a theocracy?” “Detective Litani, surely you’re not asking for me to explain logic when it comes to Lizzie French, are you?”
