#1) In which Betty does our plucky heroine consider "Michael Caine and Kojak" (!?!?) the pinnacles of masculinity?
WINNER: Betty AnoninTX! Expect a prize from Fortnum and Mason to arrive soon, assuming you've ordered yourself a Christmas present therefrom.
#1a) Whom do you consider to be the pinnacles of masculinity?
#2) In which Betty does our plucky heroine get covered in chips (french fried potatoes)?WINNER: Betty AnoninTX! Ditto on the F&M.
#2a) What is the most distressing thing in which you, or your favorite hero or heroine, have ever been covered?
#3) In which Betty does our plucky heroine own a dog named Rough?HINTS: Our plucky heroine gains Rough as part of her MOC. There is no celebration of Christmas in the book. The title is poetic.
#3a) Have you ever accidentally named a dog something you couldn't shout easily when s/he escaped the lead whilst gamboling in the park?
Tough one. My mom's calling. Gotta go take the dog out. With an easily shoutable though strange name.
ReplyDeleteBetty A.
Is it Dennis the Menace whose dog is named 'Ruff'?
ReplyDeleteThe answer to 2a. is pretty obvious. Lashings of whipped cream!!
ReplyDeleteIt's uh SAD uhnd LAM-muhn-tuh-buhl FACT thuht I hav FAILD thuh TEST.
ReplyDelete#1) wrong guess
#1a) not Michael Caine or Kojak
#2) wrong guess, wrong guess
#2a) Smelly canal slime covering Becky and the Baron. (My first thought was the leaking and barfing Bosnian baby's smelly leavings on Serena's skirt.)
#3) wrong guess, wrong guess
Would this be the same brother-in-law who asked about the breed switchging dog in the Canon?

ReplyDeleteYes, there's a problem with the 'gadget.' I'm writing to Blogger to beg that they develop a smoother-functioning gadget, as this user-developed one has had problems a couple of times when Google has made changes to Blogger.
Delete1. Ring in a Teacup
ReplyDelete1a. My real husband the PRT and my fantasy husband Hugh Jackman
2. Ring in a Teacup again, unless there is another one. Lucy gets knocked down by the car and is covered in fish and chips.
2a. I've been covered in blood and bruises after my dog Emmitt ran around my knees with his leash and knocked me over in a driveway. Does that count?
3. Not sure
3a. My dogs have all had human names.
Betty AnoninTX
Your 2a counts for sure, and very Betty-esque of you if I may say so. I hope the PRT was there to pick you up and brush you off and take control of Emmitt. Plus tea.
DeleteHint on 3): The heroine inherits Rough as part of her MOC family. He's nicer to her than other family members...
Today, I went to the bookshop and picked up a pile of Christmas novels I had ordered. Now, if only I had the time to read them...
ReplyDeleteOne of them is a book for children, Rumer Godden, The Story of Holly and Ivy

I read The Story of Holly and Ivy, last night, while having supper on a tray. Gorgeous, simply gorgeous.
DeleteThe Betty Touch:
Mr. Blossom and Peter were so busy they could hardly snatch a cup of tea
She put Ivy’s suitcase in the rack and gave her a packet of sandwiches, an apple, a ticket, two shillings, and a parcel that was her Christmas present; [...]
3. After the hints and after much wading through books (in alphabetical order of course), I arrived at S and Sun and Candlelight. Sheesh. I don't remember the poor dog, and I've read that one multiple times too.

Well done, Betty AnoninTX!!!
