He's never made you feel like a woman," he said, with insultingly accurate perception. "You're as luscious as a ripe peach, and the fool's left you on the vine. To my way of thinking, that makes him an oddity, like the mummified Indian I saw once.
In the book "Emma And The Outlaw" by Linda Lael Miller, one character delivers a poignant observation about another character's romantic relationship. He highlights how the partner fails to appreciate and embrace her femininity, comparing her beauty to that of a ripe peach left unpicked. This metaphor emphasizes her untapped potential and desirability.

The comparison to a mummified Indian further underscores the oddity of neglecting such vitality and allure, prompting readers to consider the societal expectations regarding femininity and self-worth.
