Teaser Tuesday: The House of the Seven Gables ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just 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!

“The mere smell of such festivity, making its way to everybody’s nostrils, was at once an invitation and an appetite.” ~ p.16, The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne
