Somehow, I just knew you were going to say something like that. But you know what? I don't care. 🤣
Uh oh.... I do believe I am in the middle of two sisters... XD
Dorothy wrote: "Somehow, I just knew you were going to say something like that. But you know what? I don't care. 🤣"Yep, that just proves it! 😂
I don't even remember the question after all this kerfuffle! 🤣
Okay, I'll give you a little hint. She's from NH and Meggy likes her.
I can't guess because I believe I'm in the corner
I'm guessing the author is a woman.Emma, are you still in the corner?
There isn't social distancing here.
Oh goodness, the only two American female authors I know are Alcott and Harriet Beecher Stowe....or Dickinson???
Emma wrote: "I can't guess because I believe I'm in the corner"Why are you in the corner? I was unaware of this.
Hannah wrote: "Oh goodness, the only two American female authors I know are Alcott and Harriet Beecher Stowe....or Dickinson???"None of the above. Sorry, Hannah.

Yes, the author is a woman.

Curses on your hard questions, Dorothy! Hahaha!! I'm rather unaware of any other female authors, so I'm rather intrigued to know the answer! Oh stars.....think, Hannah!!!
Sarah Hale?????Sorry, I'm having to look up NH authors. Haven't the foggiest clue!

Wow...LOL!

Nope, sorry. (I know, curses on my hard questions.)
I'm in the corner because I cheated and looked it up. XD
Emma wrote: "I'm in the corner because I cheated and looked it up. XD"Oh? Get back in that corner.
Dorothy wrote: "Okay, I'll give you a little hint. She's from NH and Meggy likes her."AHAAAAAA!!! Celia Thaxter?
Meg wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Okay, I'll give you a little hint. She's from NH and Meggy likes her."AHAAAAAA!!! Celia Thaxter?"
Did you cheat, Meggy?
She had to!! Who would've got that one!!!
Dorothy wrote: "Meg wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Okay, I'll give you a little hint. She's from NH and Meggy likes her."AHAAAAAA!!! Celia Thaxter?"
Did you cheat, Meggy?"
I was hoping you wouldn't ask that. 🤦♀️😂 Ok I'll confess I did look it up last night after guessing Whittier and saw who it really was. BUT, I waited until you gave that hint which would have given it away anyway! 😁
OOO, I've never heard of Celia Thaxter. What did she write?
Hannah wrote: "OOO, I've never heard of Celia Thaxter. What did she write?"I know her best for her lovely book, An Island Garden. She also wrote a lot of poetry which I have yet to read and some short stories. There may be more, I'm not sure!
Aw, it looks lovely, Meg! I can see why you'd like her!
Ha! I wasn't the only one to cheat!!! XD
Emma wrote: "Ha! I wasn't the only one to cheat!!! XD"Nope! 😂
Meg wrote: "Emma wrote: "Ha! I wasn't the only one to cheat!!! XD"Nope! 😂"
All cheaters into the corner.

You are full of surprises.
Meg wrote: "But I get the next question!"When you come out of the corner. In two weeks.
Does this mean I can ask a question(Besides this one)?
Ruth wrote: "Does this mean I can ask a question(Besides this one)?"
You'll have to ask Meggy on that one. She thinks she gets the next question, even though she cheated...I guess moderators are above the law?
Board games must be interesting with the pair of you- I don't think you will
ever finish it.

Ouch!! Yes, go ahead, Ruth. Before Dorry starts a campaign to impeach me! 😂
Dorry, You unsettled our cheating semi-fearless
leader.
