RESULTS: Margie Deck “Gwen” and Sheila Holtgrieve “Daisy” give us 11/10 with the most creative answer as an extra. Denny Dobry “Kirby” was a close second.
The Team SOB answer to question #1 was a rich pun:
1. A toast of the British Navy.
Answer: Phelp’s missing Naval Treaty. Holmes states that Mrs. Hudson has “…a good idea of breakfast as a Scotchwoman.”; toast is part of a full Scottish Breakfast. The Naval Treaty was placed under the dome of the breakfast plate. NAVA, W., p. 465-466.
Pawky!
The original answer is in the answers below.
NOTE: A correction has been made to Question #9.

I just want to check on question 9 – the statue in question is on the north side, not the south side?
#10– First, Second or Third Part?
The one with the quote in Act III, Scene 2.
If someone could explain #4 to me, that’d be lovely, thanks. 🙂
