Friday 56

The Friday 56 is a bookish meme which is now hosted by Freda's Voice. It's really easy (and fun!) to participate.

*Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
*Turn to page 56 and find the fifth sentence.
*Post that sentence (plus one or two more if you like) with these instructions on your blog or in the comments section below.
*Post a link back to this blog and Freda's Voice.
*Don't Dig for your favorite book, the coolest, most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST!

Here's mine from Our Lady of the Lost and Found by Diane Schoemperlen:

The dean told Bernadette to ask for a small miracle to prove the divine identity of her lady. He wanted this lady to make the wild rosebush in the the grotto bloom right then, in the last week of February.
