The Friday 56: "Hey Mister Preacher-Man!"

The Friday 56 is hosted by Storytime with Tonya and Friends

RULES

1. Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
2. Turn to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like).
5. Post a link with your post to Storytime (and here on Bryan’s Book Blog, I’d like to know what book you’ve got at hand).

The closest book at hand this week was my 1953 copy of David Grubb’s The Night of the Hunter. This is one of my prized-possessions on my shelves … the cover price is 35¢. So, without further ado, here is the fifth sentence from page 56:

“Preacher! There’ll be a place for you in heaven for bringing them tidings to Willa here!” (56)
