The Friday 56

Welcome to Week 142!



Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
 *Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) that grabs you.
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url. It's that simple.






"I've been feeling a bit confused ever since I met Hobbes."

"You know him then?" Doctor Finlay's voice registered surprise. "He's obviously a great bloke."

"Obviously. What about my flat?"

"I'm afraid you don't have one anymore."

"What happened?"

"It caught fire. You must know better than I how it might have started."

Maybe the doc was right but I didn't wish to think about it. Not then.

    Your page 56 makes the book sound a bit like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

    Thank you Freda and everyone. The cover was designed by Cathy Helms of Avalon Graphics and the house in the picture is real - built around 1650, and is in the English Cotswolds.
