Game 11 Round 2 - Lines
Ok sterling and select group of players, here are the lines for Joan Aiken's Arabel's Raven
1 - Ebenezer Jones peered through the windshield of his taxi, looking for his next passenger, when a motorbike sped past.
2 - It was a dark and stormy night when Ebenezer Jones found the raven.
3 - Mr Jones did not expect to find a raven lying in the road.
4 - It was a foul night, and Ebenezer Jones could barely see the road through the rain that hammered down on the taxi's windscreen.
5 - Ebenezer Jones was late.
6 - On a stormy night in March, not long ago, a respectable taxi-driver named Ebenezer Jones found himself driving home, very late, through the somewhat wild and sinister district of London known as Rumbury Town.
7 - Hurtling at nearly 150 kph while sharing a motorbike is hardly the best time for an argument over how to split the loot.
8 - Life before Mortimer was certainly less interesting.
Poll
The common theme does not seem to be quite so obvious this time but there is a preponderance of awful weather.
You have until midday on Sunday 2nd March to post votes. (Remember you must vote to gain points for your own line but anyone can vote now and join in.)
