Ruth (misselizabethbennett) | 2502 comments It's okay, Emma, I forgive those that trespass
my name.

Please add Whittier to my answer.

Did Meg type that or something?? 🤣


message 5417: by Lily Rose (new)

Lily Rose Dorothea | 1454 comments No, Emma, Dorry did. This is a formal response on the part of Dorothy Barlow.

I forbid you to say sorry again!
We're having fun with this, blurt out the answer.
The challenge keeps us on our toes.


Emma | meadowroselibrary Sorry for the delay!

And for the question... As I said earlier, my dad thought of it, not knowing till I did some research (after I posted the question and everyone guessed...🤦🏻‍♀️) that there turns out to be a lot of NE authors that don't have descendents...
But, the original answer is..... MARK TWAIN!!

It is actually. It's Greek for fame or praise,
in this case, a praise worthy challenge.
Funnily enough, one question with several
correct answers.

message 5448: by Allyson (new)

Allyson Jamison | 170 comments Thanks all!😄 Okay, here it is for you all to chew on while you sleep tonight...

As a boy, who figured out that he was color blind when picking strawberries and was unable to tell which were ripe and which were unripe?
