#SundaySentence

Every weekend I participate in David Abrams’s “#SundaySentence” project, sharing the best sentence I’ve read during the past week, “out of context and without commentary.”

“No, I don’t,” I admitted, recalling that Charles Bovary had said something similar before horribly botching an operation on Hippolyte Tautain in Madame Bovary.
