Aaarr, I be tagged by th’ saucy wench alejna , begad!
- Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages)
- Open the book to page 123
- Find the 5th sentence
- Post the next three sentences
- Tag 5 people
The nearest book is here on my bedside table – The Rebel Angels by Robertson Davies, which I am presently rereading. I happen to be on page 124 at the moment so I just read this bit last night before falling asleep with the lamp on and the book in my hands. Okay here goes. . .
‘Poshrat!‘ she screamed again, and spat in my face. This was a scene we had played many times in our life together, my Mother and I, and I knew better than to try to wipe away the spittle. It was something that had to be endured, and in the end it would probably work out as I wished.
The Rebel Angels is book one of The Cornish Trilogy . An excellent read.
And now, at the risk of alejna making me walk th’ plank aaarr, rather than tagging 5 people I’ll make this a self-tagging ‘me-me’.
Let us know what’s on your page 123!
