Friday 56

The Friday 56 is a bookish meme sponsored by Freda's Voice. It's really easy to participate.

*Grab a book, any book.

*Turn to page 56.

*Find any sentence that grabs you.

*Post it.

*Link it up at Freda's site.

Here's mine from We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson [there was nothing on page 56 of my edition, so I have decided to go with page 55]:

I can't help it when people are frightened; I always want to frighten them more.
