The answers are now:
A. Link = Spirals (Shayne).

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 = "A Whistling Woman" by AS Byatt, in which there was a study of snails (Bookpossum); the tails of young dogs = Snips and snails and puppy dog tails (issybird); Stephen Jay Gould = 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);
