22, but I'm still ranked 19th, as I took over 4 mins to answer!

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

I did wonder how Francis had formed that opinion when I read it! Thank you anyway, Francis. :D

Pete. I haven't a clue! As some were guesses anyway, I shall never know. Even looking at the answers of the previous one each month, I don't always know for sure which I got wrong. I have just realized I had some prunes that day...... :lol:

Sir Terence hasn't appeared yet this month, although some idiot used his name to score about 3, along with names of several other regulars (I think Shadow scored 2!) but I deleted them all. In October Sir Terence only came 3rd, but I don't suppose he was too upset as Tiger Lily in the top spot who posted a day later was also him! Last month Lady Mary posted ten days before him and only scored 15 (86th!!), but he did better than his 'wife' (!!) coming in with 25 in 2nd position.
