Wordle Challenge #4: First Line (re-posted)

Big hint from Wikipedia, added 2.8.2009: Elihu Benjamin Washburne (September 23, 1816, Livermore, Maine – October 23, 1887, Chicago, Illinois) was one of seven brothers that played a prominent role in the early formation of the United States Republican Party. He later served as United States Secretary of State in 1869.

For bragging rights* this go 'round, identify the novel whose first line has been wordled below:

Wordle: Wordle Challenge #4 -- elle est belle la seine

*Okay, so "bragging rights" are not enough for you? Well, solve this Wordle Challenge and you will be known, near and far (but mostly far), as the Wordlemeister of the Day (Week, Month, Year -- however it works out).

We'll throw in a nice trophy, too.

Have fun!

  1. Dammit, I have no idea but I was jazzed at the idea of coming up with the actual sentence (since it was so short):

    Elihu B Washburne opened his gold watch.

    No clue. Is it some kind of Sherlock Holmes book?

    p.s. It's looking like I didn't read enough classics in high school and college.

  2. It's a wild and woolly wordle world you've entered, cardiogirl!

    Here's a hint: the work is not a classic -- more an *historical* fiction.

    I'm rooting for you!
