It doesn't start on the fifth line, but it goes into a line.
"It was quiet for a long moment, just the thud of my heart hammering, the broken rhythm of our ragged breathing, and the whisper of our lips moving in synchronization."

Bathwater (or shower) was too much of a Caliban to speak distinctly- or perhaps was too brutally anxious to emit the hot torrent and get rid of the infernal ardor to bother about small talk; but the burbly flowets grew more and more ambitious and odious, and when at her first "home" she heard one of the most hateful doctors (the Cavalcanti quoter) garulously pour hateful instructions in Russian-lapped German into her hateful bidet, she decided to stop turning on tap water altogether.

In her spacious and quiet streets men walked and spoke as they had done in Newman's day; her autumnal mists, her springtime, and the rare glory of her summer days - such as that day - when the chestnut was in flower and the bells rang out high and clear over her gables and cupolas, exhaled the soft airs of centuries of youth. ~ Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
