Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Basically, open the book you’re currently reading and share a couple of sentences from that page on your blog. Avoid spoilers of course.
Middlemarch is the book this week again. I’m really enjoying it, but haven’t been able to spend much time reading lately and it’s a very long book.
The teaser is from a conversation between two siblings, Rosamond and Fred, who are on their way to visit their rich uncle. They see one of their uncle’s other relation’s gig in the drive. The following quote is spoken by Fred:
“That is Mrs. Waule’s gig – the last yellow gig left, I should think. When I see Mrs. Waule in it, I understand how yellow can have been worn for mourning. That gig seems to me more funereal than a hearse. But then Mrs. Waule always has black crape on. How does she manage it, Rosy? Her friends can’t always be dying.”

I hope you are enjoying this classic. I read this years ago and remember liking it very much.
Great teaser – I loved Fred 🙂
