She's a real person, but the heroine of an Evelyn Waugh novel, too.

So it's Helena ((Montana) - I'd never heard either of the book or the city. (Margot Pennefeather she's not!)

I hadn't thought of that- no, just state capitals. Helena is an inventive dowager because she was a dowager Empress of Rome and is traditionally associated with the finding of the True Cross, commemorated as the Invention of the Cross.

You, I reckon it's between you and Salicional. I'd say he had the edge on making the connection, which just about nudges him over the line, but there's hardly anything between you.

Would someone like to post another question? I've only just discovered this thread so it would be presumptuous of me to do so myself!

OK, as you asked...
What's the connection between the following words? (Though this is probably more a "wall" type of question):
Each
Range
Rape
Ear

1. All contain e and a.
2. If you take the first letter of each word and put it on the end of the word, you get another reasonable word:
ache, anger, aper, are.

Jumps up and down, eager to try something else, and hoping it hasn't been done already
I only await confirmation of the previous answers.

OK. Failing a resolution of the previous question, here is a new one. What comes fourth, and what is the common link?
1. Lindsey Davies
2. C.S.Lewis
3. John Ruskin
4. ...........
