On Facebook the other day, Katie told me about a game where she was instructed to
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
Katie informed me that the fifth sentence on page 56 of the nearest book she grabbed was:
“No, darling, I don’t mind in the least that you’ve quite ruined my prospects. I always wanted to be made a laughingstock in front of the ton.”
So here’s today’s impromptu mini-contest: which book was that from and who said it?
The winner will receive a copy of The Betrayal of the Blood Lily. I’ll pick the winner from among the correct answers and announce it here this evening.

See, this is what I get for not reading the whole thing. I went and grabbed the nearest book and was getting ready to type it in when I saw all the “mary alsworthy - crimson rose” answers.
I had to reach for the book too. I really didn’t think that the phone book would have qualified.
My answer: Mary Alsworthy - Crimson Rose

Seduction of the Crimson Rose–and no one said it, but Mary Alsworthy thought it. This whole set of tete-a-tetes at Sibley Court made me love Mary. She and Penelope are my favourite characters–I like disillusioned, angry heroines.

i was thinking Mary from Crimson Rose, but when i looked in my book it was an entirely different sentence. until miss eliza said paperback edition i didn’t even think that my hardback might be different! glad to know my first instinct was correct!
