Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
Tracy has said that Sophie Rickaby was a lot like Rocky, and she also said that she spent most of her adult life in sanatoriums (which are quarantined hospitals for people who have tuberculosis.) I wonder if her health problems started when she was a little girl. Sophie may have been idealistic, intelligent, goofy, and impulsive like Rocky, and she may have been often sick and couldn’t get into the kind of trouble that Rocky could. Or maybe she was a very healthy kid and she could have absolutely dislocated her arms in a homemade flying machine accident, who knows? But I like the idea of Nina having to contend with a boy version of her little sister, only this child has healthy lungs and can run faster than her, and can actually unleash the kind of tomfoolery that Sophie only daydreamed about.
