Here's mine from Gaudy Night by Dorothy L Sayers:
Harriet Vane sat at her writing-table and stared out into Mecklenburg Square. The late tulips made a brave show in the Square garden, and a quartet of early tennis-players were energetically calling the score of a rather erratic and unpractised game. But Harriet saw neither tulips nor tennis-players.

Here's mine from Gaudy Night by Dorothy L Sayers:
I have the most ill-regulated memory. It does those things which it ought not to do and leaves undone the things it ought to have done. But it has not yet gone on strike altogether.
[This is actually one of my favorite quotes from Gaudy Night. I'm so pleased it appeared on page 56 of my edition!]
