    13) Sewer rat in two cities>>>>> what are THE two cities? ( this will answer the second part of the title and hopefull prod you onto the first!)
    16) She wore widow’s weeds>>>> What colour are widows weeds?
    17) Debate on unbalance>>> A non fiction book, written by the same person who wrote the work that is thought to have sparked the french revoloution. (its available in the lit net!)
    20) The silent grotesque>>> what is another word for someone who is completly silent? somthing that is grotesque is somthing that is .....? the first book in a fantasy trilogy published in 2001

    I'm really surprised that no one has answered no.10 yet. that to me was one of the easiest on the list.

    Some of us laugh
    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...

    No.12 is wrong. go back to what bitterfly said, and then read the hint.
    3 is wrong but you are on the right track....me thinks.

    12 is right! Its is Translations by Brian Friel.

    3) well like i said, me thinks. maybe think of a certain title that would make sense? I thinks its Woodhouse.
