All correct, 18 points and you win the quiz! I didn't expect it to go quite so quickly! I hope that others can fill in the gaps and compete for second place.
Just my sort of questions, and at a time when I'm awake! I'm just heading for bed, though, so have at it, all you potential silver medallists!

6 No, 13 Yes, two more points.

Shayne Parkinson: 18 points (the winner!)
drjd: 6 points
Bookpossum: 4 points


6, 7 & 10 to go - Bookpossum could take second place, or someone new could tie for second place still!

6. 'Remember that [...] your native language is the language of Shakespeare and Milton and The Bible; and don't sit there crooning like a bilious pigeon.'

7. 'Death destroys a man: the idea of Death saves him.'

10. 'The rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when [...] I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open.'

Yes to both. Two points each.

Shayne Parkinson: 18 points (the winner!)
drjd: 8 points
Bookpossum: 4 points
orlok: 2 points

Only one to go. And I thought it was one of the easier ones. 'crooning like a bilious pigeon' rather gives it away I thought!

Ok, the quote without the annoying ellipsis

"Remember that you are a human being with a soul and the divine gift of articulate speech: that your native language is the language of Shakespeare and Milton and The Bible; and don't sit there crooning like a bilious pigeon."
