That booky thing

mackiedockie and mischief5 tagged me...what's this, teaming up on me?? *grins*
Here are the rules:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
6. Tag five people.
1.ookay....you better be glad that I cleaned on the weekend, so that the nearest one is not the university handbook of animal feeding and nutrition( in Estonian to boot), but Mary Renault's The Friendly Young Ladies (thank you again, and again,cyberducks).
2.
3.
4. It seemed, however, that one of the guests had been even earlier than she. A slim young woman in a plain, but excellently cut scarlet frock, her back turned, was lighting a cigarette, and taking what seemed to Elsie a rather ill-bred interest in the arrangement of the drinks. Overcome by nervousness at the thought of being left alone to make conversation, she was about to vanish again, when the stranger turned around. It was Leo.
5. You have therefore been spared from a lot more of Mary Renault, George R.R. Martin's A Feast for Crows, the last Harry Potter (in the form of a printout), The Compleat Spanker, The River of Dancing Gods, Roger Zelazny's short stories, The Mammoth Book of King Arthur by Mike Ashley and a self-help book (the presence of the latter is excused on the grounds that it was a gift from someone and a very long time ago) - this being the content of my little bedside table atm. Which, I suspect, was an entirely different meme going round and round in the flist.
6. If you feel like doing it, by all means, consider yourself tagged.
