The only first line y'all didn't get was:

8. Mr. Salteena was an elderly man of 42 and was fond of asking peaple to stay with him.

Which is from The Young Visiters, by Daisy Ashford. Is this just not a very common book for people to have read? Because I thought, as a line, it's fairly easily identifiable as Miss Ashford's work (she was nine when she wrote it. It's kind of this adorable little fantasy/romance of life in the upper class of England in the Victorian era, unconsciously hilarious. I really recommend it.)
