From memory, post a line out of a book you loved as a child |

Sidney's in a dreadful state. Unless he hurries, he'll be late. He's off to visit cousin Joe. There's so much to remember, though.

3. When the dark comes rising, six shall turn it back |
|
Three from the Circle, three from the track Wood, Bronze, Iron; Fire, Water, Stone Five will return and one go alone
Iron for the birthday, Bronze carried long Wood from the burning, Stone out of song Fire in the candle-ring, Water from the thaw Six Signs the Circle, and the Grail gone before
Fire on the mountain shall find the harp of gold Played to wake the Sleepers, oldest of the old Power from the Green Witch, lost beneath the sea All shall find the Light at last, silver on the tree

From Katy and the Big Snow. God I loved that book. When I was about 5 or 6 I took it out of the library so much the librarian finally just gave it to me.

18. "So grouped, the curtains as they fall upon |
|
Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy."
Or, from the same book
"I hate affected niminy, piminy chits!" "Birds in their little nests agree," sang Beth...
Or the first line of the book:
"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents", grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.
Yes, I used to have the entire book nearly memorized. I read it that much as a child and cried every time.

they made O get up and were on the verge of untying her, probably in order to attach her to some pole or wall, when someone protested that he wanted to take her first, right there on the spot. So they made her kneel down again, this time with her bust on an ottoman, her hands still tied behind her, with her hips higher than her torso.
