I was giving one to each of you...may have thrown in an extra one just to make sure I didn't miscount and leave someone out. 😂

Good Morning Everyone! 😮-📣Hannah!!
You are the winner.
It's your serve.🎾
Please do an easy one Hansie!! 😉
Oh yay, I won!! Thank you, Ruth! I'll get working on a question right away!
Okay, this may be a super easy one - but here goes:What was William Sydney Porter's pseudonym?
Hannah wrote: "Okay, this may be a super easy one - but here goes:What was William Sydney Porter's pseudonym?"
I think I know this one! It was O. Henry
***I am going with my FIRST instinct this time, Ruth!***
I'm just going to watch this one... 😏
That's a good plan, Pamela😉Well I know it's NOT Longfellow.
Emma wrote: "I'm just going to watch this one... 😏"No Longfellow this time, Emma?.....Seeing Ruth won't use that answer!
Hannah wrote: "Emma wrote: "I'm just going to watch this one... 😏"No Longfellow this time, Emma?.....Seeing Ruth won't use that answer!"
I believe I did a *bit* too much research on this one... 👩💻🖱️
Ah, yeah, that one isn't too hard to "research" and find the answer on.
Hannah wrote: "Ah, yeah, that one isn't too hard to "research" and find the answer on."🙊
Hannah wrote: "Ah, yeah, that one isn't too hard to "research" and find the answer on."Hannah, you tease.😄
Incidentally, we are experiencing tropical depression
Hannah.
Ruth, I do believe Hannah is right...
I agree with Pamela.O'Henry (The citizen of the world)
I don't know if I ever even heard of William Sydney Porter! But I have heard of (and read at least one story by) O. Henry and it does sound like it could be a pseudonym, so I'll go with that!
Oh Hannah, I don't know if you read through all of last night's kerfuffle, but I congartulcated you! 🤣
One of O. Henry's stories is a longtime favorite of mine. I won't say which until all answers are in.

Pamela wrote: "One of O. Henry's stories is a longtime favorite of mine. I won't say which until all answers are in."I'm eager to hear which one it is.
