Lovelier the second time around

I've done this one before. But I've been tagged by Julie and, always game for a game, I'm doing it again:

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.

Nearest book: Michael Cunningham, The Hours. The sixth, seventh and eighth sentences on page 123 are:

It is her tribute, her gift. What more can she offer him? She is on her way back to the kitchen when the intercom buzzes.

Five people tagged - that is, if they want to be: Angela, Elizabeth, Martin, Paulie and Jean.
