I think that is what happens...I post on this one sometimes but always follow it because it takes me ages to find all of them...it happens, but only rarely...when I did manage it I made a pretty rubbish one for people to find...I don't mind doing a mini one until wofa composes his though...

There are 5 classic novels in here (BONUS and one modern (satirical) novel from the world of the flying turtle...) Happy Hunting!

p.s. apologies for terribleness!

Jane Clifford: eyre apparent was contacted in the year Eighteen Ninety-Nine to claim the wealth of her draconic ulan Great Uncle Eric. However upon receiving the Nineteen million, Six thousand, and Eighty-Four pounds sixpence she subsequently lost all of her sense and sensibility and invested the lot in the building of the White Star Line’s new cruise ship, the Titanic. This venture, as you know, was a failure and the pickwick papers documented Miss Clifford’s loss in fortune and her subsequent death in a debtors' prison.

I'm at a loss with "ulan" but I'll keep looking, or
maybe give someone else a chance.

That is a very new one. I only checked one dictionary,
and it did not have it. But Dic.com did. Ulan, oglan
boy, youth. Interesting. I had images of
Ulan Bator, Mongolia.

'fraid mine will be a while coming...I beg your indulgence, but don't wait upon it.

Meantime, for the one remaining do you mean draconic ulan = DRACULA?
