[Kim Marie]

That's the one Jude....your turn :)

[Jude]

"I come from a country which was created at midnight."

[Marianne]

I think that's Salman Rushdie....

[Jude]

sorry Marianne! You're geographically close, but he was publishing before this author was born.

[Marianne]

I was thinking Midnight's Children because of the midnight thing, but of course two countries were created at the same time on that midnight, and it's the other one...

[Sandy]

Is it possible to quote the first sentence as bold text?

My father’s family name being Pirrip, and my Christian
name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names
nothing longer or more explicit than Pip.
