Q: lacquer?
Yes, I think I can take that. Lacuer might well be pronounced the same as lacquer

I'm impressed!

Thanks, Paul, that was a real brain-stretcher!

A two-part quiz, inspired by one Bilbo (I think) put up recently.

Identify the following people:
- This author is a fan of vampires, but not of the sort who sparkle in the sun, or choose to spend their immortality going to high school. Anne Rice. HomeInMyShoes 1 point.
- A poet who wrote of the courtship of two unlikely lovers. Finding a wedding ring is among the challenges they face.
- In 1858 he published his "Table of the Relative Frequency of the Causes of Breakage of Plate Glass Windows", but he's rather better-known for his difference engine. Charles Babbage. HomeInMyShoes 1 point.
- A novelist in her own right, but also known for her biography of a more famous writer.
- The earlier of only two US presidents who have faced losing the position via a legislative process described in Article Two of the Constitution. Andrew Johnson Hamlet53 1 point.
- Though a powerful king himself, remembered mainly as the father of a great son. Philip II of Macedon. Hamlet53 1 point.

1 point for each correctly identified. Five points for identifying the link between these answers.

Yes, it is. And since I meant to make the question "the earlier of the two..." I'll say you've earned the point: it's Johnson.
