Hello Dear Readers.  This weekend the Trifecta Challengers have dared us to scour through our favorite pieces of literature for 33 of the best words we can find.

I chose the following 33 words from one of my most dearly beloved writers,  Robert Benchley.  They are from the beginning of his essay entitled  Mutiny on the “Bounty” from a volume of his collected essays:  My Ten Years in a Quandary and how they grew.  (It’s available free online here.)

If we had a goat,” I said to Mr. MacGregor, “it would solve all our problems.”

“A what?” he asked, without looking up.

“A goat,” I repeated.

“It would solve what?” he asked . . .

Until next time . . . I love you
