Come now, come now. Dr. Frankenstein's words upon his completed experiment, from Mary Shelley's classic!
As no one seems interested, I will not leave another line. Maybe someone was offended at me or something. If so, I apologize. I'm only human, subject to like feelings as anyone else, and as I said, I took the wrong approach. My bad. Don't let my mistakes ruin a perfectly good game for the rest of you.

This game has never been very popular so please do not think that the reason it does not get many replies is you. And I sincerely do hope that you will be taking part again in future.
The new question:

There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King
Ah, he wanted so to marry Rachel...but, Hard Times is hard times.
Sorry, Pendragon. I do love this game, but I haven't been around for a bit, what with school 'n all. But I'm back (sort of) so let's play.

Leonato puts together the perfect man for Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing, I believe.
I seem sixty and married, but these effects are due to my condition and sufferings, for I am a bachelor, and only forty-one...

"I had the feeling that the world was left behind, that we had got over the edge of it, and were outside man's jurisdiction. I had never before looked up at the sky when there was not a familiar mountain ridge against it. But this was the complete dome of heaven, all there was of it."
Since there are no takers for littlewing's question, I will post another one:

Yes, fine answer, but what is the ultimate question?
Littlewing's clue is from My Antonia by Willa Cather.
Now the sneaking serpent walks
In mild humility,

Where lions roam.

for he sat on the after rail;
And he fired salutes with the Captain's boots,
in the teeth of the booming gale...

Oh, what a capital ship, the Walloping Window-blind.
Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with...and then the different branches of Arithmetic--Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.
