Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. The idea is to give everyone a look inside the book you’re reading.
Play along: Grab your current read; Open to a random page; Share two teaser sentences from that page; Share the title and author so that other participants know what you’re reading.

Ed, of course, said he’d be only too glad to get some good champagne, and he had attended to the matter himself.” (17)
“The first thing I noticed was the clarity of the air, and the sharp green colour of the land. There was no softness anywhere.” (1)
“My brother Vernon went on ahead. I woke up and felt for him but the bed was dry and my brother Creed was already up. He had his overalls on and he was telling me that I had to get up too because it was after four-thirty and the cows wouldn’t wait.” (3)
