Today’s sentence comes from 4.50 From Paddington by Agatha Christie.
“ ‘If I were a girl coming to meet my young man, I’d not stand for being taken to a freezing cold barn miles from anywhere,’ Cedric objected. ‘I’d stand out for a nice bit of cuddle in the cinema, wouldn’t you, Miss. Eyelesbarrow?’
‘Do we need to go into all this?’ Harold demanded plaintively.”
One of my favourite authors! I want to reread this one. Here is mine http://srivallip.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/friday-memes.html

Yes a barn can be an interesting place but what about the freezing cold? 😉
Your ‘Friday 56’ is intriguing. Thanks for sharing!
LOL I like cuddling while watching movies….
I think every woman likes a ‘bit of cuddle’, don’t we? 😉
Cuddling in the cinema sounds like a good time!
Yes it does!
This is an author I must get reacquainted with.

I hope you get reacquainted with Agatha Christie soon! 🙂
My sister loved reading Agatha Christie, but I never got round to reading any. This is a great 56 and makes me wonder if I should get around to reading some Agatha! My 56:
