Continuing with my weekly series on questions for which you cannot google the answers.
What one word connects the following:
- A place famous for world land speed records
- A fictional lingerie emporium
- A Poe poem
- The stage musical The Music Man
As usual I shall wait a few days before giving you any clues.
Eulalie.
The fictional lingerie shop gave it away : Roderick Spode is unforgettable. Then the rest were Google able.
Hmmm. I took a chance that not many of my readers would be hardened Wodehousians. Hardened enough to remember Eulalie Soeurs. But I should have known you were a likely candidate, Kevin. My bad.
Incidentally some years ago I bought a cow-creamer. Because I could.
I didn’t know any of the clues offhand, but I thought the fictional lingerie shop was the best lever, and I was right — once I saw that I was offered a Wodehousian article, I was sure I was on the right track, and the shop name stood out.. The rest were trivially confirmable via Google after that.
Ok next time I will leave out the word “fictional” before lingerie…. Too many of my readers are readers!
I now know the answer. My guess was Trouble. Best, Christopher
Here I was trying to figure out a relationship between Richard Noble and Fredericks of Hollywood via the Bonneville salt flats (not).
