Use you little grey cells!"

Louisa May Alcott comes to mind, but I doubt I'm right.

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

James Fenimore Cooper?? (is that even an author??)

[Doreen]

Thoreau?

I'm so sorry Meg!! 😭 I'm just not as knowledgeable as you!!

He is currently on Meg's bad list
and maybe kicked out of the N.E.L.
altogether.

[Ruth]

Recap:
Who said:
“Poor dull Concord. Nothing colorful has come through here since the Redcoats."

Dorry- Louisa May Alcott
Emma- James Fenimore Cooper
(Now on Meg's naughty list)
Doreen- Thoreau
Allyson- The black balled Mark Twain

Hannah?
Care to guess?

[Hannah]

I'm athinkin' Ms. Ruth!!

[Hannah]

The person sounds quite witty and/or sarcastic....and someone who doesn't have a popular opinion of New England....

[Hannah]

Let's see....didn't Hawthorn move to Concord once married??

[Hannah]

I may have Twain on the mind thanks to Ms. Meg, but that sounds like something sarcastic he'd say.

[Allyson]

The black balled Mark Twain? Are you calling him names?!😡

[Ruth]

Allyson wrote: "The black balled Mark Twain? Are you calling him names?!😡"

Black balled as in ousted.

In secret organizations or private clubs
each member is given a white and a black
ball (marbles). When the times comes to
vote: a member in/out, disputes, or
business, a person holds a velvet bag
for each member to cast a vote by
dropping a marble into the bag.
The bag is taken and counted majority
color- either black or white wins the vote.
Haven't you heard of this secret ballot?

[Hannah]

Go ahead and put me in the naughty corner, Ruth. Had to look it up. Must say, it was NOT who I was expecting it to be. But since I cheated, I won't reveal the answer.

[Allyson]

Okay, just checking😁😉

[Allyson]

So did anyone get it right??

[Allyson]

I'm about to cheat if you don't announce it!!

[Joanna]

I'm leaning towards Thoreau too.

[Allyson]

I'm leaning towards cheating! Where did Ruth go?!?

[Hannah]

So I'm going to play the bad influence and say, Go ahead and do it, Allyson!

[Allyson]

Thanks for the permission!!😉😆

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Ruutthhhh!!!! Come back!!!

Allyson wrote: "I'm leaning towards cheating! Where did Ruth go?!?"

I think she's sitting back enjoying our suspense...😂

[Allyson]

I think so too!!!

[Allyson]

I'm back by the way. Not who I expected!!😱

[Ruth]

What's with the shouting?
I can hear you in Texas!

[Allyson]

YOU DISAPPEARED! THAT'S WHAT!!

[Hannah]

YOU'VE GOT US SITTING AT THE EDGE OF OUR SEATS, RUTH!!!

[Ruth]

The answer is
Louisa May Alcott

I thought for sure Doreen would get
it.

🚨🚨Abandon ship!!🚨🚨
🚨🚨Abandon Ship!!🚨🚨
!!Dorry is next!!

[Joanna]

Ruth can hear our kerfuffle from TX?! 😂 Hmm, two people have cheated and say it's not who they expected. I'm still assuming it's someone who lived in Concord, but perhaps not as well-known. This is a wild guess as I've never read any of her writings, but Margaret Fuller?

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

AND YOU MADE ME CHEAT!!!

[Allyson]

*sigh of relief* Glad to have that out!

[Joanna]
