The Editrix at Ribbons of Light has tagged me for a Book Meme.

The rules are as follows:

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages)
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence
4. Post the next three sentences
5. Tag five people.

Well as I’m sitting at the computer in the girlsroom I am surrounded by childrens books.

1. I have picked up ‘The Long Patrol’ by Brian Jacques.

2. Opening…

3. Reading…Tammo had heard Russa and the hares and felt a mixture of anger and sadness when Perigord shouted retreat and they ran off.

4. Now he felt alone and deserted, certain too that something horrible was about to be inflicted upon him by the sadistic little tree creatures, who seemed very confident and contemptuous of landbeasts.
Then Tammo’s heart leapt as he heard the night air ring with a familiar war cry:
“Eulalia! ‘Tis death on the wind! Eulalia! Charge!”

5. I tag Lynn at Signs and Wonders, Tina at The Best of Times, Jenny at He Knows My Name, Tina at Mary’s Muse, Andrea at Gray Family Circus
