3. Pick up the fourth book (from original stack) and write down the fourth sentence from the fourth chapter.

Discard book after completion of the third step.

James Cruesoe was in the club car of a train plummeting out of Chicago, rocking and swaying as if it were drunk, when the conductor, lurching by, glanced at the bar, gave Cruesoe a wink, and lurched on. "Splendid," shouted the watchdog, "I'm very pleased - I'm sure we'll be great friends for the rest of the trip." So, lying asleep, Emi inhaled the seasons and heard the rumorings of towns on the prairies over the mountains and if you asked her at meals she would tell you the violent or serene occupations of strangers ten thousand miles away. Wasn't he a good citizen?! By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
