You got it Vic! Now that wasn't so hard, was it?

As to your first question Ren:

The book is a series of letters from a veteran devil, Screwtape, to his young devil nephew, Wormwood, who has just embarked to his first attempt to tempt a human soul.

Second question:

Love-ŕ-la-Mode! What a lovely page I found on the Fenimore Cooper family!

Here's another:

What did Sherlock Holmes keep in the toe of a persian slipper?

Good Luck!
