| “ | Uncle Fester is incorrigible and except for the good nature of the family and the ignorance of the police, would ordinarily be under lock and key…the eyes are pig-like and deeply embedded…he likes to fish, but usually employs dynamite…he keeps falcons on the roof which he uses for hunting…his one costume…summer and winter…is a black great coat with an enormous collar…he is fat with pudgy little hands and feet. | ” |

Famous quotes containing the words uncle and/or fester:
“Is it not ironic, oh my husband? Your wife an adulteress. Your mother an adulteress. Your uncle an adulterer. Your friend an adulterer. Do you not find that amusing, dear Nicholas?”
—Richard Matheson (b. 1926)
“The hearts of small children are delicate organs. A cruel beginning in this world can twist them into curious shapes. The heart of a hurt child can shrink so that forever afterward it is hard and pitted as the seed of a peach. Or, again, the heart of such a child may fester and swell until it is misery to carry within the body, easily chafed and hurt by the most ordinary things.”
—Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
