Teaser Tuesday

Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. To participate, simply do the following: Grab your current read Open to a random page Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
This week's teasers are taken from Professor Gargoyle by Charles Gilman and Penelope Goes to Portsmouth by M.C. Beaton and Minder. Enjoy.

Professor Gargoyle by Charles Gilman (my review):

"You have to promise me you'll be absolutely quiet," he told them. "No squirming around. If anyone notices something screwy, I won't be able to protect you." page 69 

Penelope Goes to Portsmouth by M.C. Beaton (review up on Friday):

Hannah Pym's thoughts turned to her late employer's brother, Sir George Clarence, Sir George who had shown her such friendship and who had promised to take her to the opera when she returned from Portmouth, Sir George with his fine profile, blue eyes, and silver hair.
