"When Lily marries she's going to marry a man who can give her everything."

Blowsy, warm-blooded Molly Bowser was determined that her daughter Lily would make a safe, respectable marriage before she was overtaken by the same fate that Molly's good looks and lusty animal spirits had attracted. So she outlined a relentless campaign to get a man for Lily, and when it showed signs of bogging down, she fortified herself with vitamin shots and red wine, and started all over again.
