  2. Hi Marianne, good quotes as always - the Dahl one has a typo in it - "through" should be "throw". Cheers

  3. You're welcome, Elizabeth. Didn't take very long at all, I have all my blog entries in a word document, so can find everything very fast. I hope it contributes to your list.

    Thank you, Carole, for pointing out the erro. I corrected it right away. Very much appreciated. I hate keeping those kind of typos in anything I have written.
