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 The White Company by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (actually from page 59 because 56-8 has illustrations):

"It passes me," he cried, "how all you lusty fellows can bide scratching your backs at home when there are such doings over the seas."
