Sentenced

[This one I've played before, and according to the rules of Meme Tag, if you choose not to follow the instructions and tag three people, anyone's allowed to grab the the thing and run with it. Which I choose to do this beautiful, clear and cold morning.]

[The rules are:

1. Find the nearest book.
2. Name the book & the author.
3. Turn to page 123.
4. Go to the fifth sentence on the page. Copy out the next three sentences and post to your blog.
5. Tag three more folks.]

[The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton:]

["As she handed back the reins, she (Lily Bart) said sympathetically: "Did you have such a lot of tiresome things to do?"
"I should say so - rather!" Trenor, who was seldom listened to, either by his wife or her friends, settled down into the rare enjoyment of a confidential talk. "You don't know how a fellow has to hustle to keep this kind of thing going."]

[Hmm. That may be four sentences. Anyway, tagging Max, Jeffrey, whose own writing is ineligible, and John in Colo., who can tell us a thing or two about real cold.]
