- Contest ended: The contest was to find the elliptical reference to Roughing it in the Bush in The Nettle Spinner. A certain Mr Wilson, a gentleman whom the Moodies befriend decides to hollow out his own canoe in the backwoods of Ontario ("It took me six weeks hollowing it out, and when it was finished, it was as long as a sloop-of-war, and too unwieldy for all the oxen in the township to draw it to water."). He ends up leaving it in the bush for my character, Jake, to find more than one hundred and fifty years later("I paddled it by land. It is a land canoe."). Honorable mention to Christine Fischer Guy who made many clever connections only not the right one. No true winner, unfortunately.
- Incidentally, in my spare time (ha), I've decided to annotate The Nettle Spinner. I'm not being presumptuous here; I'm just doing it to amuse myself.
