A strict task master. It is probably more than 20 years since I read Fenimore and then in Swedish translation, thus always a wee bit worried about names. Sometimes they are given in original, but sometimes they are changed due to prononciation and such.

If memory serves he was something like Chinchuck or Chingahoek, In Swedish he was also referred to something like Soaring Falcon, which most likely mean he was an Eagle in the original because images differ between those bird of prey between the U.S. and Sweden. Sorry, that is as close as I will get, hopefully someone else has better memory or at least the benefit of reading the original.

Close enough - esp. in translation - Chingachgook! Well remembered!

Sorry. just don't know any of the others. I should know the Wells Invisible Man, but as I read it about 40 years ago, I can probably be forgiven for the lapse...

Long ago I saw the film of The Man Who Came to Dinner - Bette Davis was in it. I think the character was based on Alexander Woolcott, but I can't remember his name.

I've seen The White Devil too, but an extremely long time ago. Nothing remains but a feeling it was pretty nasty!
