And what is wrong with Jane Asten? I think I'm going to look into Elizabeth Goudge. Which book would be best for me to read first??
Maybe I'll order it from a bookseller in New England...then I might keep myself out of trouble for discussing English Literature! LOL!

I sincerely recommend The Dean's Watch. It's the first I read, and I read it 4 times! I'm now reading The Rosemary Tree, and thoroughly enjoying it!

I thought about it, but I hoped you would count both my answers!

I agree with Dorry, Pamela, The Dean's Watch would be a good one to start out with, though The Rosemary Tree is amazing!!!
Also, Pamela, you may have missed it, but I sent you an invitation to Dorry's Elizabeth Goudge group awhile back. So you can read more about her there and what her writing's like.
I'm so sorry! I just realized I was supposed to post the next quiz question. Well, fortunately I have one I really want to ask! Which New England author said this?
"No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader."

"No tears in the writer, no tea..."
I thought you were purposely waiting for Meggy! 🤣
Mark Twain.
Emma wrote: "I thought you were purposely waiting for Meggy! 🤣Mark Twain."
Now why would I do that?! 🤣
Noted.

Obviously you do not know me. Or you would know that I would never, under any circumstances, wait for Meg for anything.

Yes, that was my point! 😂 I know you wouldn't wait for Meg. 😂 It was a whole twisted, sarcastic comment. 🤦🏻♀️🤣

You may be sorry I'm back. I know the answer again. I will wait to see if Emma knows.

Haha! No, we've missed you too much to be sorry for so petty a reason! It seems Emma doesn't know the answer. She guessed Mark Twain. I think Allyson is rubbing off on her. Does Allyson want to guess? Anyone?

Is that your hint that I'm wrong?? 🥺
If you are right, Pamela... ERG!!!!!! 😂 I HAVE GOT TO PUT WHAT FIRST COMES TO MY HEAD!!! 🤣
Should I disconnect again??? LOL!!!😆🤣😂🤗

Did you ever look into Elizabeth Goudge's books, Pammy?
Emma wrote: "Did you ever look into Elizabeth Goudge's books, Pammy?"Yes I did. I discovered that The Dean's Watch is part of The Cathedral Trilogy. I looked for it online and the books are expensive, so I'm going to ask at my local library. I don't know anything about Elizabeth Goudge, but the reviews for her books are all very good!

What?! The Dean's Watch is a trilogy!?! DORRY!!! 🤣
Yes, it's part of "The Cathedral Trilogy" and the other two books are "A City of Bells" and "Towers In The Mist." I discovered that when I was searching online for "The Dean's Watch."Pammy Jo
