Not sure if anyone's still up, but I'll say "good night" anyway. It's almost 11pm and I'm about ready to drop. 🥱😩💤😴

Haha...Well, you are fun to annoy, too, so that's a comfort!
Okay Ruth, looking forward to the question you've got for us!!This entire group is such a tease, I love it! Sarcasm is my second language, so this group feels like home to me!
👏👏👏 Okay class! Just kidding!😄
When Mark Twain built his dream house in
Hartford’s Nook Farm neighborhood in 1874,
his next-door neighbor was Harriet Beecher
Stowe, the most famous American woman in
the world.
Harriet Beecher Stowe's house
Incidentally, Isabella Beecher Hooker, Harriett's daughter,
also lived in the neighborhood on Hawthorne Street.
Wow! What a beautiful home!!
Mod

No I'm not back in the discussion just admiring Mark Twain's house and wishing I could live there with all my books. That is all.
Aw, Stowe's home looks so serene!And then there's Twain's.....hahahaha!! His looks like something from a gothic novel compared to his neighbor's!
Where did everybody go today??
Okay, today's quiz: Where was Little Women written?
I THINK I agree with Emma. I know I read it, but I can't remember for sure.

You have the right idea, Doreen!☕📚📚
Ruth wrote: "Okay, today's quiz: Where was Little Women written?"
To clarify, is this a room in a house or a certain town or place?
Does that question make sense?
Okay, feeling a little silly, I realize Emma was cracking a joke when she guessed Little Women was written in a bedroom. I was trying to think of all the other rooms an author could write in....an attic, an office, underneath the stairs.....in a tree.....I DON'T KNOW, ARE THESE ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THE ANSWER, RUTH???

If you mean state then my guess is Massachusetts, if you mean place then I guess attic.

Her desk in her bedroom?

I am going to go on a limb and say Connecticut.
Hannah wrote: "I am going to go on a limb and say Connecticut."Of course, you'd be the one to be more presice. 🙄😜
I feel like this is a trick question, Ms. Ruth! And not only is it a tricky question but also vague! It could have been written anywhere! The UK was mentioned when researching Good Wives. Did Alcott have a special place dear to her? A favorite treehouse, in the stables next to a favorite horse, at relatives, a special state, even out of country?
HAWAII!!!LOL, jk, so don't put that as my answer, Ruth!!!
