I am cheating with this one, cos I missed it on Tuesday.
If anything was needed to put the last touch to her self-abasement it was the sense of the way her old life was opening its ruts again to receive her. Yesterday her fancy had fluttered free pinions above a choice of occupations; now she had to drop to the level of familiar routine, in which moments of seeming brilliancy and freedom alternated with long hours of subjection.

(Official rules are:
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers! )

I like reading, so I blog about books. Makes total sense. All the sense, really. I also like art and other things, so they might pop up here as well. I've never been a person to stick to one thing. Other things might be even more fun!
