Third Sentence Thursday (#17) ~ Sniffly Kitty's Mostly Books

Grab the Code

Third Sentence Thursday is a weekly meme that has third sentences on its mind!

1) Take the book you are reading now and post the third sentence
2) Review this sentence anyway you want (funny and silly reviews encouraged)
3) Post a link to your sentence here or if you don't have a blog, just post it in the comments!

"And I, Barbara of Austria, neither young nor beautiful, would be the duke's second duchess before the pale December sun set." -The Second Duchess by Elizabeth Loupas

This sentence certainly conveys the meaning of the title all around. It kind of makes you feel bad for Barbara though being that she is neither young nor beautiful. Of course, since she is of the Hapsburg line of severely inbred royals, I guess it all makes sense.
