These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-04-03,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of Bill Psychs and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 3 - Arts & Literature
* Famous Last Words of Female Writers
We give you the year of death and some description of a female
writer, along with her last words as reported (and this time they
were all in English). You name the writer.
1. This American poet was known as reclusive and few of her nearly
1,800 poems were published in her lifetime. She died in 1886:
"I must go in, the fog is rising."
2. English novelist and poet, died 1855, speaking to her husband
of 9 months: "Oh, I am not going to die, am I? He will not
separate us, we have been so happy."
3. English writer, died 1817: "I want nothing but death."
* Famous Last Words of Male Writers
Same thing, only these writers were male.
4. His wartime service and his career as a journalist provided
much of the background, detail, and depth of his famous novels.
Died 1964, apologizing to the medics: "I am sorry to trouble
you chaps. I don't know how you get along so fast with the
traffic on the road these days."
5. As a member of the British Army, he gained fame as a war
correspondent and wrote books about his campaigns. Died 1965:
"I'm bored with it all."
6. English writer noted for his facility at wordplay, logic,
and fantasy. Died 1898: "Take away these pillows, I won't
need them any longer."
* Cats
7. Which writer's pet cat was named Catarina? She was the
inspiration for his story "The Black Cat".
8. Which writer's pet cat was named Jellylorum? The cat was
immortalized in "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats".
