These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2016-12-06,
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 the Misplaced Modifiers
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 2016-11-26 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 3 - Arts & Literature
Arts & Literature: http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-3/alit.jpg
* Shakespeare, Misquoted
Perhaps the most misquoted writer of all time. We give you the play
and the misquote; you give the correct version.
1. Not from "Macbeth": "Lead on, Macduff".
2. Not from "Hamlet": "Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him well."
3. Not from "The Merchant of Venice": "All that glitters is
not gold".
* Karsh Photos

4. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-3/karsh/4.jpg
5. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-3/karsh/5.jpg
6. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/f-3/karsh/6.jpg
* Fictional Victorian Women
We name two female characters and their literary creator; you name
the novel in which both women appear.
7. Esther Summerson and Lady Dedlock. Novel by Charles Dickens.
8. Laura Fairlie and Marian Halcombe. Novel by Wilkie Collins.
9. Bathsheba Everdene and Fanny Robin. Novel by Thomas Hardy.
* First Lines
Here is the first line of a work of fiction intended for a young
adult or children's audience. Name the work of fiction.
10. The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play.
11. "Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents", grumbled
Jo, lying on the rug.
12. "Where's Papa going with that ax?" said Fern to her mother
as they were setting the table for breakfast.
* Ah, Provence
13. In which Provençal city did Vincent van Gogh spend over a year,
during which he completed some 200 paintings and lived briefly
with Paul Gauguin?
14. This painter spent most of his life in the city of
Aix-en-Provence and honed his post-Impressionist style
portraying its landscape and light. Who?
15. The great 14th-century Italian poet Petrarch passed much of
his life employed in the papal court in which Provençal city?

"Hold! Enough!".) 4 for Joshua and Bruce.

"All that glisters is not gold." (Often have you heard that told:
many a man his life hath sold, but my outside to behold. Gilded tombs
do worms infold.) This one was a bit tricky because some editions
of the play do show "glitters"; but that's a modernization. 4 for
