[Fictionary] Pooter Results

[Hutch]

Sorry, everybody!!!

Been having a very busy couple of months. I literally didn't see this until
just now. If someone else can take this round, I'd appreciate it.

J-J: Since you were second? You want to take this one?

Linda: I thought of the same thing. I'm actually reading it now: _Daisy Fay
and the Miracle Man_, originally published as _Coming Attractions_.

BB,
Hutch
