So to summarise where we are:
A. Link = ? Aristotle; the goddess Wicca; something slinky; mosquito repellant; the route to a bell tower
B. Link = Snails (issybird). Dancing too slowly for the quadrille = "Will you walk a little faster said a whiting to a snail" - Alice in Wonderland (pdurrant);
a whistling woman; the tails of young dogs = Snips and snails and puppy dog tails (issybird); Stephen Jay Gould = he researched snails (issybird); postage stamps = snail mail (issybird)
C. Link = Joy (issybird). Yiddish = Leo Rosten wrote 'The Joy of Yiddish' (issybird); Beethoven = 'Ode to Joy' (Bilbo); sex = 'The Joy of Sex' (Bilbo); Amy Tan = 'The Joy Luck Club' (Bilbo); Wordsworth = Surprised by Joy (issybird);
Leaders of Men
D. Link = Seven (issybird). Enid Blyton = Secret Seven (Bilbo);
sheafs of corn; heaven and earth = Islam has seven heavens and seven earths (Bookpossum); monstrous heads = the Seven-headed Hydra (Bookpossum); sin = Seven deadly sins (Bookpossum); resting = Seven sleepers of Ephesus (Bookpossum); managerial competencies = Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (Bilbo); marital strife = seven year itch (issybird); God = God rested on the seventh day (issybird, sort of...)
The ones still to get are emboldened
