This week's theme is Female Relationships -- any relationship one has with a woman.

Lord Emberly, great man that he was -- a hero of various expeditions to unscaled mountains, unnavigable rivers, and uncharted jungles, gave a brief shudder and added one last chilling warning:

"And if you upset his mother, you really will be in trouble."

~page 100, Horton Halfpott or The Fiendish Mystery of Smugwick Manor or The Loosening of M'Lady Luggertuck's Corset by Tom Angleberger

At first I wasn't going to use this as it didn't seem to actually reference a relationship.  But then I decided it works after all, since Lord Emberly is speaking of his daughter-in-law and this excerpt certainly tells us a fair bit about that relationship.  :)

This is a book that Fiona and I are enjoying.  (By the way, she thinks this quote really needs an exclamation point at the end, but it was lacking in the book.) It's by the author of The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, about which I've heard only good things.
