Well done slaney.....that last one was driving me nuts.

[slaney]

Thanks ladyalex - me too - kept on thinking it must be something to do with March!

[ladyalex]

I was going over all the names I could remember from the books...March, Laurence, Bhaer, Brooke, Hummels, but no fit...Moffat was a bit obscure, but I guess it is the TLS.

Is there more than one way to spell menteith-monteith.
Submitted this grid and have 1 error.
Went with the first example but am having doubts.
