It was winter, just a few days before Christmas.

THE FRIDAY 56 is hosted by Anne of Head Full of Books. To play, open a book and turn to page 56 (or 56% on your e-reader). Find a sentence or two and post them, along with the book title and author. Then link up on Head Full of Books and visit others in the linky. 

If you ask me, said Pretty, interrupting hurriedly, this is not a safe conversation to have.
