No, I never think that. I figure you come down

And you induce me to "come down from my perch," as you put it, by making a grammatical error?

Your inducements is another way of stating
your radar.
😑- I sense an error, must rectify.

Oh Hannah ! Whatever has caused you to be tropically depressed?

Seriously, I am praying for your safety and protection, Hannah!

Oh Hann..."

Oh, it's okay Pamela! Ruth was just teasing - they're going through a tropical storm right now and its ironically named Hanna.

I'M JUST WAITING FOR STORM DORRY!! 😂😂😂

Misspell something and she'll materialize.😄

Recap:

Pamela - First instinct O.Henry
Ruth - Definitely NOT Longfellow. But probably O.Henry
Emma - Knows too much
Meg - O. Henry
Dorry - Still stuck on grammatical errors
Allyson - Nobody knows

[Hannah]

For some reason I kept wanting to write O'Hara instead of O. Henry!

No probably about it.

I can hear her cringing.😖

[Hannah]

🤨 I am suspicious of your confidence, Ruth.

Hahaha, good idea!!

[Ruth]

Hannah wrote: "🤨 I am suspicious of your confidence, Ruth."

Hannah wrote: "🤨 I am suspicious of your confidence, Ruth."

It is fact, O'Henry referred to himself as a citizen of
the world.

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Allyson says she's sitting this one out because she has no guess.

[Joanna]

Dorry says to tell you that she's going to follow the rest of us and say O. Henry too. 😄

[Ruth]

No Allyson today.😔

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Meg wrote: "Dorry says to tell you that she's going to follow the rest of us and say O. Henry too. 😄"

That's a surprise! 😲

[Joanna]

Emma wrote: "Meg wrote: "Dorry says to tell you that she's going to follow the rest of us and say O. Henry too. 😄"

Yeah I know! 😂 First she said to tell everyone she had no idea and not to wait for her, then she changed her mind.

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

🧕📣 HANNAH!!!!

[Hannah]

Well congratulations everyone, it is indeed O. Henry!

I'm curious Meg, for the one who only read one short story of his, how did you guess?

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Yay!! That means I was right too!! 😏

[Hannah]

Emma wrote: "Yay!! That means I was right too!! 😏"

Yeah....sure you were!!

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Hannah wrote: "Emma wrote: "Yay!! That means I was right too!! 😏"

Yeah....sure you were!!"

🤫

[Hannah]

You sound like me when I read mystery novels and guess EVERY. SINGLE. SUSPECT......PLUS MORE and found out, hey, one actually did it. And you feel so smart, because you "guessed" it. 😂😂😂

[Ruth]

Pamela,
What challenge will you bring to us for the next quiz?

[Joanna]

Hannah wrote: "Well congratulations everyone, it is indeed O. Henry!

Honestly I would never have thought of him if Pamela hadn't said it, then I just thought it made sense. 😄

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Hannah wrote: "You sound like me when I read mystery novels and guess EVERY. SINGLE. SUSPECT......PLUS MORE and found out, hey, one actually did it. And you feel so smart, because you "guessed" it. 😂😂😂"

I actually really did know the answer before anyone else put theirs... I just had some help...

[Hannah]

Ruth and Pamela, what clued you to the answer....unless you already knew? O. Henry isn't an author really discussed on here, so I was hoping to stump AT LEAST A FEW PEOPLE!!! 😒

[Pamela]

I'm the winner? I did know it right away b/c he wrote "The Gift of the Magi" which has long been one of my favorite stories! It's touching!

Now, I'm going to think of a question for the next quiz! I do hope I don't goof up!
Pam

[Ruth]

I have read his works a while back.
I was search for the book on my G.R. shelf
and noticed I forgot to add it, it has his brief
history in the introduction and the referral
to himself as the citizen of the world.

That's the one I've read too, Pamela. I was only about 11 at the time, but it stuck with me.

[Ruth]

Pamela,
That"s my favorite too! I like to read it at Christmas time.

But how did his referral of being a citizen of the world clue you into the fact that his real name was William Porter.

[Pamela]

Hannah wrote: "Ruth wrote: "I have read his works a while back.

I already knew without that info. Actually, I would not have known if the qestion had been strictly about his being a citizen of the world.

[Ruth]

Hannah wrote: "Ruth wrote: "I have read his works a while back.

It didn't. I just added that as extra info.
recalling how he saw himself.
That's all.

[Pamela]

Okay here's my question. I hope it hasn't already been asked! Let me know if it has:

What caused Louisa May Alcott to have ongoing health problems for the rest of her life after she served as a nurse in Washington D.C. during the Civil War?

[Joanna]

Pamela wrote: "Okay here's my question. I hope it hasn't already been asked! Let me know if it has:

Hmmm, it was some kind of drug, I can't remember what though!

[Ruth]

Oh, that was from typhoid fever-
the side effect of the medication

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Ruth wrote: "Oh, that was typhoid fever."

🙄

[Pamela]

Ah...yes, but that is not the answer. She did have typhoid and pneumonia, but the actual cause of her lifelong health problems was something else.

[Pamela]

Meg wrote: "Pamela wrote: "Okay here's my question. I hope it hasn't already been asked! Let me know if it has:

Meg, you are onto something, but what is it?

[Lily Rose]

Pork?

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Dorothy wrote: "Pork?"

I can see that one!!

[Lily Rose]

Not that I have anything against that, but I do remember some mention of having to eat pork, and having never eaten it before, it made her sick. Not sure if that's the answer. Another thing that comes to mind is bad coffee? I don't know. Those are my guesses.

[Pamela]

How do I post your answers? Can someone help me with that, as my tablet is behaving badly today. Maybe the connection is not good due to the heat. Anyway, I can use all of the help I can get!!!!! : )
