WHAT???!!! You threw us all again! 😂 O dear, anoth..."

Whatever Dorry's quiz/test will be,
the school marm will make it last
several days.

The reason Dorry keeps getting Louisa May Alcott questions is because (I'm pretty sure) she's the only NE author she's read. 😂

Emma wrote: "What does Dorry have against poetry? 🤔"

I've tried and tried to inspire her with a love of poetry but she thinks it's silly. 🙄😄

[Lily Rose]

All right, everyone, here's your question. What book is this from, and who said it?

"I hope there will be more wheat and fewer tares every year."

I had no clue but it does sound like something from Little Women!

[Lily Rose]

Doreen wrote: "Little Women and Amy said it. And I'll never tell how I know it."

In other words, you cheated.

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Looks like you'll be in time out for
impertinence!

[Doreen]

Well I'll take my punishment

Not you, Doreen.
It was Dorry I was addressing in reply to
your comment.

[Lily Rose]

Goodness, I'm sorry! I guess I should have put a 😉 or something, but I was in a hurry. You know what they say, act in haste, repent at leisure. 😥 I apologize for any hurt feelings. May I come out of the corner?

[Doreen]

There are no hard feelings here Dorothy. It's all in fun. We all know that or we should.

A clue? Doreen already guessed it. :)

I thought you probably did, but Meggy saw hurt feelings, so I thought I'd better apologize before anyone left the group.

[Ruth]

No worries, Dorry, it is all in fun.

[Ruth]

Geez, my notification is slow!

[Doreen]

Oh someone else pose a question. I'm waiting for my Target same-day delivery to arrive. Gotta feed my kitties you know. And my new tea kettle is coming too!

Philip Thomas, Henry Robert, and Pearl Mary. We lost Ruth Edwina last October :(

[Ruth]

The question was to entertain Doreen,
Where did you pop in?
Of course, Hawthorne!
He is your Bat Signal.

Aww, too bad! Well who is next then? Just please NOT Dorry! 😂

[Ruth]

This author’s father had odd ideas about
diet severely limited what the family ate.
Their meals were often made up of
unleavened bread, porridge, potatoes,
squash, rice, graham meal, and water.
On occasion, they even went hungry,
once eating only apple pudding for
Thanksgiving dinner. Who is it?
