Teaser Tuesdays -- The Female Quixote

Teaser Tuesday time again, hosted by MizB. How it works is you grab the book you're reading, open to a page, and pick a juicy two-sentence teaser. No spoilers, obviously.

While waiting FORTY-FIVE FREAKING MINUTES for the subway this morning, I started a new book: The Female Quixote by Charlotte Lennox, another one from the 18th century. I think I may like it because it doesn't take itself too seriously. Anyway here we go:

You must know, Sir, said Lucy, sobbing, that there came a Man here to take away my Lady: A great Man he is, though he worked in the Gardens; for he was in Love with her: And so he would not own who he was.

Ah the stuggles of class. Also this happened in Season 1 of Desperate Housewives.

  1. Nice teasers! Sounds like a good book. I've only recently found out about Charlotte Lennox, and I want to take a look at some of her writing. One more addition to the never-ending TBR list!

  2. Yeah, she's an obscure one, apparently. They say this one's her best.
