😂 Well it was easy for me because they are my two "favoritest" NE authors and I love the fact that they were lifelong friends (although they didn't really get to know each other until some time after college).

We've been having thunderstorms off and on since yesterday. You'd think I would mind that but I'd rather have that than the heat and humidity.

[Ruth]

😓I'm with you there.

[Allyson]

What's your next question Meg?

My sincerest apologies, Emma.
It was Hannah that cheats."

Lol I was just teasing. 😄😉

I was waiting on the wind to
die down for your return. 😋

[Ruth]

Where is Hannah anyway?

Allyson wrote: "What's your next question Meg?"

Hi Allyson,
I was wondering that myself
She and Dorothy are probably
debating over Grammer.

[Joanna]

Allyson wrote: "What's your next question Meg?"

Wait everyone, I'm trying to think of a good hard one!! 😋

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Well Meg, I'm going to go ahead and guess the answer and say.....
Hawthorne? ;P XD

[Joanna]

Well you all will probably get this one right away, but we'll see! 😉Can you fill in the blank?

“ There is __________, with genius so
shrinking and rare
That you hardly at first see the strength
that is there;
A frame so robust, with a nature so
sweet,
So earnest, so graceful, so lithe and so fleet,
Is worth a descent from Olympus to meet ;
'Tis as if a rough oak that for ages had stood,
With his gnarled bony branches like ribs of the wood,
Should bloom , after cycles of struggle and scathe,
With a single anemone trembly and rathe;
His strength is so tender, his wildness so meek,
That a suitable parallel sets one to seek, —
He's a John Bunyan Fouqué, a Puritan Tieck;
When Nature was shaping him clay was not granted
For making so full-sized a man as she wanted,
So, to fill out her model, a little she spared
From some finer-grained stuff for a woman prepared,
And she could not have hit a more excellent plan
For making him fully and perfectly man."

Don't think too hard,
remember what happened to me.

[Doreen]

You're making my head hurt with this one Meg

[Ruth]

I agree with Emma.
Hawthorne, otherwise
I don't know.

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

I'm not even going to try guessing this one. XD

Now Emma has taken to answering the questions before they're asked (and correctly too, how did she ever guess??!!)...I give up! 🤦‍♀️🤣

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

I was right?!?

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

Alright, I'm absolutely HORRIBLE at thinking of these, so here's the best I's got: (Doreen, Hannah, Meg, no cheating!!! ;D)
Who said this...
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.

Great job Dorothy!! That means your next! 😄

[Doreen]

How did that happen so fast? lol

[Lily Rose]

Haha, thanks Emma. I'll have to give it some thought and get back to you later. Thanks for choosing such an easy question! Thank goodness I didn't have to cheat even though it was permitted for me. ;)

[Joanna]

I've read Little Women at least 3 times and I didn't get that??!! 😲 OUCH!

[Lily Rose]

Lol, Meggy.

[Lily Rose]

Meggy, I am NOT Dorry. 😝

[Emma | meadowroselibrary]

All right, here's your next question. Hope no one finds this too simple.

Who said, “Look to the East, where up the lucid sky; the morning climbs! The day shall yet be fair.”?

Sorry, Emma, but a tone of certainty will get you nowhere. It's not Emily Dickinson.

Nope.
