Friday Quotes: Girl in the Blue Coat

Book Beginnings on Friday is hosted by Rose City Reader. Share the opening quote from the book.
The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice.  Find a quote from page 56.

Check out the links for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Participants don't select their favorite, coolest, or most intellectual books, they just use the one they are currently reading. This is the book I'm reading right now---

 Book Title: Girl in the Blue Coat by Monica Hesse

 Book Beginning:
A long time before Bas died, we had a pretend argument about whose fault it was that he'd fallen in love with me.
Friday 56:
Mr. Kreuk is a good man. He pays me fairly. He gave me my other, secret job, which pays even more.
Comment: Everyone is talking about this WWII Holocaust story set in Holland. I hope to listen to the audiobook this weekend as we are taking a bit of a road trip.
