The Friday 56, Rare Beasts

Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56.
*Find any sentence that grabs you.
*Post it.
*Link it to Freda's Voice.

The book this week is Edgar & Ellen: Rare Beasts by Charles Ogden. I’m still reading Ex-Heroes but I used that last week so I picked something else that was handy. I’ll get to it eventually. Just like all the other books in my ‘to be read’ pile. Really, I will.

The sentence: “Ten dollars?” repeated Ellen. “I say ten dollars is an awful lot less than fifteen hundred!”

Well, you can’t deny the logic of that.
