No. Prayers is the noun/subject. The phrase "the Devil Answers" modifies the noun and there is no verb."

Thanks, Elizabeth.

Oh, help. I was trying to reconcile my posts with the Readerboard, and when I went through all my posts I found a bunch of combos I didn't claim. I never did figure out where the extra 5 points came from, but I found 25 I hadn't claimed.

Message 35 - Magruder's Curiosity Cabinet combo 20.3 (there are two main characters, one is male - the author is female). +5
Message 36 - The Duke and I combo 20.10 - the Bridgerton series is all about family +5

Message 60 - Trials and Tribulations combo 20.10 - definitely a family saga (multiple households, multiple generations) +5
Message 288 - The Christmas Swap combo 20.10 - definitely a family saga (multiple households) +5
If you approve these, I'll add a copy of this message to the Completed Tasks, if that works.
Thanks! Kim
