I'm gonna miss plotting with Allyson, my quizzing buddy, on formulating this next question!

[Hannah]

Okay, this is sort of a question within a question. Let's see if I can get this worded right.

Which author wrote a title that is an old-fashioned term for a sea bird that is often considered an omen for bad weather? Who is the author and what is the title?

[Ruth]

Sailors view the albatross as a bad omen.
The Albatross by ? 🤔

Doing some research...is it a storm petrel? Don't know the old-fashioned term, though.

You are researching?😮

I've never heard of a storm petrel.

[Lily Rose]

Well, I think I know the answer, but I didn't come up with it on my own, so I'll keep silent.

For researching?

[Hannah]

For the one who considers all research cheating, yes I am proud of you for looking stuff up.

Haha! Well, not ALL!

[Ruth]

Dorothy,
I agree with Hannah.😃👏👏

[Hannah]

Ruth, you getting any clues on what the answer might be? Or are you still researching too?

[Ruth]

I may have to yield to research.
Apart from the albatross I know
of no other bird.
Good question, Hannah!

Where are Emma and Allyson?

[Lily Rose]

I'll answer if Hannah wants me to...

[Ruth]

If you know the answer, dear Dorothy, be my guest.😉

Mother Carey's Chickens by Kate Douglas Wiggin?

[Ruth]

Chickens an omen?😕

Perhaps if you run out of it at a church picnic.🍗

LOL! The "old-fashioned term".

Oh my dear, what's a girl to do? So sorry Emma! Hope you had a lovely day out!

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Yes Ruth and Hannah! We did!! 😀❤️

Hannah wrote: " Oh dear, can't leave Allyson out! Here are some yummies for you too!"

😍😍😍 You're torturing me!!!

[Ruth]

Not me, at least I don't think so.

Chickens? The answer is strange
enough to be correct.

[Hannah]

Dorothy - Mother Carey's Chickens by Kate Douglas Wiggin
Ruth - Hungry now for fried chicken
Emma - No clue
Allyson - Still car sick
Doreen - Gone never to be heard of again

😂😂😂 A, I'm not carsick anymore and B, I guessed Lord Byron.😋

[Ruth]

Hannah,
My answer is albatross, I know of no other.

[Hannah]

Okay.....

So Ruth created her own title and Allyson picks an author who doesn't even belong in the group!

[Allyson]

What???

This re-cap is perfect. Ruth is hungry for fried chicken! LOL!

🤣

[Hannah]

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT!!!!!!

Dorothy got the answer correct!! It's Mother Carey's Chickens by Kate Douglas Wiggin.

Incidentally, Disney took this book and created a movie loosely connected to the story called Summer Magic starring Hailey Mills. Its really cute if no one's watched it.
