Teaser Tuesday ~ Spring for Susannah

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along, so I thought I would play for un! 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

"Ut!" Marta pointed to the door.  Jesse complied.  Ivar continued to rifle the food baskets. Marta repeated her command, swatting him on the seat of his pants.  Slinking out, he mumbled two words from the corner of his mouth.  Countering with a remark of her own, Marta flicked her apron at him and sent him howling into the yard.
