123:5 meme

Through Mary Beth from Songbird , as seen at The Vicar of Hogsmeade.
The rules are:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next four sentences on your blog, along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest!

OK , but the closest book only has 115 pages... and page 12 is a picture so, I'll amend this somewhat..

Welcome to the Bed and Biscuit by Joan Carris
1 book, page 23, line 5

Milly sat up on Ernest's bed. "He left me behind!"
"Me too," Ernest replied. "He's tired, that's all. I'm going to the barn to help. Those milk pails are heavy. You coming?"
"Absolutely not," Milly said
"No pouting," Gabby said from under the kitchen table, where she was hunting for crumbs. "Only babies pout."
But I am a baby," Milly said.

I should perhaps note that Ernest is a pig, Milly is a cat and Gabby is a mynah bird. They are talking about Grampa who has brought home a new, sickly pet and is being secretive about it.
Excellent book, especially if you like Babe or Charlotte's Web.
