One night in the short story “The Bass, The River, and Sheila Mant” written by W.D.

The date has finally arrived, and the narrator still is not over her magnificent appearance. As she walks out the narrator states that she was “As beautiful as she was on the float, she was even lovelier now-her white dress went perfectly with her hair, and complimented her figure even more than her swimsuit” (37).

The fish plans to either wear Santiago out until his physical body lets go or the line breaks because of the marlin’s strength.
