I did TERRIBLY on this. Am ashamed to call myself an Austen fan. Not least because I forgot Margaret, as usual…

Everyone forgets Margaret! The quiz-master forgot Margaret too! I had to complain about it and she had to check it online before giving us the point and removing it from the other teams 😛

Most of the time when I play pub trivia I am a major contributor to my team’s success. I would not have been much help in a round like this, though. Tough questions! I might have gone to hide in the bathroom until the round was over if I were there… 🙂
