This right here is precisely the instinct you need to combat. Remember that the name of the character speaking the line is only *one* clue to the answer. There are others. Keep looking! A large part of my FJ success comes from trusting that the clue writers are rational, and that they think their clue is fair. Figure out how it's fair!TenPoundHammer wrote:"Lord Henry—" "Nope, not gonna get this in a million years."
I've never read "The Picture of Dorian Gray," but this was an instaget. All I needed to know was a) a title character b) is addressed by someone who might be English nobility and c) was surprisingly unmarred (=physically?) by an exquisite (=extravagant?) life. If you've read a thumbnail sketch of the novel, that should be enough.
