Mount everest Quote by Maia Chance

“I winched myself up the banister behind him. Flight after flight we went. It was the Mount Everest of staircases, but I was no Sherpa. And the steel boning of my girdle was digging into my cupcakes. Maybe I should’ve worn Eloise Wright’s rubber girdle, after all.” quote by Maia Chance — Download Open image
