Once, again, Mr. Punch, with my help, is offering up a true Victorian riddle. The first person to answer correctly--by posting in the comments--will receive public congratulations.
So, here's this week's riddle. We ask that you don't Google the answer. Mr. Punch would not find that sporting at all. Give it a shot and see what you can come up with. Here we go... No cheating...
Of flesh and blood sprung am I ever; But blood in me that find ye never. Many
great lords bear me proudly, With sharp knives cutting me loudly. Many I've
graced right honorably: Rich ones many I've humble made; Many within their grave
I've laid
And...the answer is...
A pen, presumably a feather quill.
Angelo was right, it was too long. Matt was close. Darcy, April and Dashwood were humorous and, the rest of you were typically clever. Many thanks. Make sure to come back next Friday for Mr. Punch's first riddle of 2013.
Happy New Year...that's the way to do it!
