The Friday 56: The Moon Man, The Driver, and the Royal Woman

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).

For some reason, Robert R. McCammon’s Boy’s Life is the closest book to hand … and I don’t know what it’s doing out of the office and next to my computer. I certainly didn’t bring it out (I’m still working through Drood so it’s not as if Boy’s Life is the “On Deck Book” because Drood is still in the batter’s box swinging away), it must have been one of my kids, which is even more random, because they’re four and two. Anyway, here’s the fifth sentence on page 56:

“As the Moon Man helped her from the car, the driver opened an umbrella and held it over her royal, ancient head” (56).
