Quotation


Today, just for fun, I’m taking a cue from Reya, who was recently tagged with this meme. I generally don’t tag people myself, but if you’re interested in trying it, feel free!

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

Here goes:

Their encounters were anything but intimate. “Although George delivered meat to our house on his bicycle, I didn’t really know him,” Bramwell admits. “But I discovered, some time later, that he was getting all my records from a classmate named Maurice Daniels, who was a drummer in a dance band and had borrowed them from me to rehearse with each week.”

--from “The Beatles,” by Bob Spitz.

That is such a fun meme! But, to echo Gary, delivered meat on his bicycle? I wonder what the context is. :)

George had a part-time job as a butcher's delivery boy. Ah, the secret lives of the rich and famous!
