Previous IQs: Have you played characters named Cecilia, Elizabeth and Georgiana? Were you surprised by the ringing of a hidden phone? Did your son Patrick die in infancy? > [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > 1. The obligatory “I am not Keira Knightley”. > Take 2 DQs for the others. LOL. You know me too well! Yes, Knightley in _Atonement, Pride & Prejudice_ and _The Duchess_. Theodore Sorensen wrote that he and JFK were talking upstairs in the White House early in 1961 when a concealed phone rang. It was hidden behind a wall panel; they didn’t even know it was there before that. The President answered the phone, and a woman asked if she’d reached the Washington, D.C. animal hospital. JFK said no, and the woman at first didn’t believe him. She finally hung up, apparently never realizing who she’d been speaking to. The third was Jackie Kennedy, just a few weeks before their fateful trip to Dallas. DQs: Born since 1964? First name start with J? IQs: Was your wife named Abigail and one of your daughters Zoe? Were you one of Lincoln’s two personal aides? Were you the other? ---
