Red hair and "pungent rhetoric"

11 May 2023: Laughed out loud at these lines today, spoken in bewildered admiration about the protagonist of Mary Noailles Murfree's "Drifting Down Lost Creek": "'She hain't got a red head on her for nothin',' he said, remembering her pungent rhetoric" (Murfree 30). 

Strange and not entirely good (or bad) day. I don't want to write about the not-good parts, so instead I want to channel the vibes from this little excerpt.
