Joanna Wait, maybe Bronson Alcott? I have a feeling this is some kind of trick question. 😂

I was thinking Bronson too,
but wasn't sure if the
Dynamic Duo knew of him.

Are our beloved Emma and Dorothy cheating? Say it isn't so. I admitted I cheated once. For shame ladies. For shame. lol


message 910: by Joanna (new)

Joanna Yeah, Dorry thought that Walden Pond was in Maine...😂

Hannah Alane | 662 comments Twain does sound like the right irritating person for the answer, but wasn't Thoreau friends with Emmerson too?

It's not cheating to come up with your questions through Google. It's cheating to look for the answer!

I believe so.

for future.

Lily Rose Dorothea | 1454 comments Meg: Emerson, but the revised to Bronson Alcott.
Hannah: Wants to know the meaning of provoking in this usage.
Ruth: Mark Twain, who provokes everyone. (LOL!)
Doreen: Longfellow

Emma doesn't get in on this one, because we are the ones asking.
I think we're just waiting on Allyson? But Allyson is probably in the corner for asking Emma. 😉

Twain was an association-
what comes to mind.

Whittier?
