Beginning

"Jane Austen just won't stay on the page." 

Freda’s voice is hosting Friday 56 and the rules are:

*Grab a book. Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader (If you have to improvise, that's ok.) Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it)
Post it. Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url.

Mountain pretty!"
