Teaser Tuesday (09-01-09 edition)

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!

Today's Teaser:

When I open them, the beard guy is sitting in the overstuffed chair. He's got flower gardens around his neck: pink, orange, yellow, like in pictures of Hawaii, and he wears red robes. He's Indian and small; with his long gray hair and beard he looks a little like an old man and a little like an imp.
