You got the gist of the names correct… and the odd man out and why - Lee. Terry is correct that you have a couple typos in your answer.

Here's the cookie. You two can divide it as you choose.

I'm a big fan of Dickens and yep, Rudde was a typo.
However, Corio Lanus was not a typo. I'm not big on Shakespeare and Zoe worked that final one out for me (it had me stuck), but I put it down as two words, so you can have a small bite of my cookie, OK Terry ? :popcorn:

Zoe gets a quarter bite of what is left, our dog Bella gets a half because she kept me company through the 'rigorous' thought process involved and I'll take the crumbs left over :lol:

Cheers,
Lee
