Traviata <br /><br />Not sure why, but I share Ken Houghton's sense that 12.1 is Shaw.<br /><br />15.6 is St. Denis, I believe. <br /><br />That's all I can figure off the top of my head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841761.post-43355227448630063052012-12-26T08:36:31.257-08:002012-12-26T08:36:31.257-08:00The answer to the one about Howe's patent infr...The answer to the one about Howe's patent infringement suit is Singer.<br /><br />Other than that, without Googling, I'm stumped.Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803231988989969133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841761.post-32645994133240829082012-12-26T07:04:25.462-08:002012-12-26T07:04:25.462-08:00"an average score of two."
I'm not ..."an average score of two."<br /><br />I'm not certain how much I can raise that; fairly certain 3.10 is La Boehme, and 3.7 looks like Othello, though I don't remember a suicide. (I would swear 12.1 is "George Bernard Shaw," but I could be wrong.) 14.10 seems worth a reasonable guess, but then we're already well past 100 questions.<br /><br />There are a few others that should be easy to a well-educated Brit (i.e., people forced to read Famous British Authors), such as 2.8 or 7.3, and probably even 11.3.<br /><br />But other than 18.6 being "the death of Neil Armstrong," would anyone other than a TLS editor bet they could accurately answer a couple dozen without looking them up?Ken Houghtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440837287933536370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841761.post-180719911461517792012-12-25T19:45:46.140-08:002012-12-25T19:45:46.140-08:00Bleedin' 'ell.
