    What does Dobbs, Curtin and Howard go in search of in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre? (The literal answer would be gold, but I am sure we can agree that is "a treasure" too)


    The Golden Pavillion
    We were the Leopards, the Lions; those who'll take our place will be little jackals, hyenas; and the whole lot of us, Leopards, jackals, and sheep, we'll all go on thinking ourselves the salt of the earth.

    Exclamation

    Oddly enough, who are the guys from Three Men in a Boat?

    And then, suddenly, the Unknown Last Line of the Saaamaaa Ritual was whispered quite audibly in the room.

    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    OK, here is a game quite similar to the Answer and Questions game we have been playing... but this time we will give answers and questions related to English and Literature (thought it might be suitable since we are on a Literature Forum! ).

    A: 26
    Q: How many letters are there in English language?

    A: A geisha.
    Q: About whose memories did Arthur Golden write about? (Memoirs of a Geisha)

    Please remember that we are here to play a game and avoid from asking questions which are too obscure or irrelevant to the subject (Questions which are not related will be deleted) as we have other games for this purpose.

    Thank you and happy gaming!
    A new answer:

    Prince Edward Island.

    Bye the bye, this was How did Carnaki escape in The Whistling Room, from William Hope Hogenson's Carnaki the Ghost Hunter. Sheesh, somebody could have taken a stab at it before restarting the game...
