I haven't done this before, so I hope I do it right! Part 19 was getting way, way too long!

How to play: Enter a book title which begins with the last letter of the previous entry. Ignore articles such as "A", "An" & "The". Please check your entry when you post it and try and use an original title (you can check conversations to see if a book has been used before). Use Touchstones where possible.

Ok, here's the last posting from part 19:

I'm sure that #83 was meant to end in "d", although it might show up as an empty square on some browsers. I'll play off that:

Daniel Deronda by George Eliot

"(883) was meant to end in "d" . . ." (886)

I appreciate your concern, but: Definitely not so intended--not by the publisher, anyway.. Thatʻs why I specified that "E" was the last letter. (883) Iʻm going by memory, and itʻs a half century or so old now, but am sure that, on the title page, an
apostrophe replaced the presumable d. I assume Harry Golden knew that it normally has a d, and that he was jokingly lapsing into dialect.
