MYSTERY SOLVED
Aug. 24th, 2017 06:41 pmYesterday I posted about a list of nonsense words that I'd found tucked into my copy of The Motor Girls of Crystal Bay. The list is
Mrtaia
Fdera
Ktea
Croa
Bses
Belel
Ltoite
Balnha
I found them flummoxing, but![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
thisbluespirit figured them out! They're ANAGRAMS!
Mrtaia = Marita
Fdera = Freda
Ktea = Kate
Croa = Cora
Bses = Bess
Belel = Belle
Ltoite = Lottie
Balnha = still not sure about that one. Anagrammers of the world! Any idea about early 20th century girls names that would fit? The book was published in 1914.
Except for Kate and the mysterious Balnha, these are the names of the main characters in the book. I can but presume that Kate is my ancestress's OC, who in my mind is a girl with flashing dark eyes and a perhaps slightly anachronistic bob, who meets the Motor Girls when their car breaks down during a storm and helps them out when they are In Peril, and therefore gets invited along for the adventure...
