Extra Credit Questions

My next hint would have been: "He would first make me think of a Rolex (watch) in an inappropriate place." (Do y'all know what I mean?)

Here's a fascinating website about Lew Wallace:

Scott, the prize today is these further two wonderful quotes from "Ben Hur" which I hope you will like (if not I'll check if the Ben Hur Rolex is in the prize vault...):

"The happiness of love is in action; its test is what one is willing to do for others."

"It is more beautiful to trust in God. The beautiful in this world is all from his hand, declaring the perfection of taste; he is the author of all form; he clothes the lily, he colours the rose, he distils the dewdrop, he makes the music of nature; in a word, he organized us for this life, and imposed its conditions; and they are such guaranty to me that, trustful as a little child, I leave to him the organization of my Soul, and every arrangement for the life after death. I know he loves me."

My most humble thanks Eva! I will most gladly accept the quotes and forego the Ben Hur Rolex.
