Charlie Chan.
DQ: In a book by an American author?
IQ1: Did you name your son for the day and month he was born?
IQ2: Did you conquer Texcoco?
IQ3: Are you the best-known native of Kashyyk?
#1 was actually the taciturn Calvin Coolidge. Since someone else has guessed him, though, I won’t take a DQ for that.
#2 is the Cheshire Cat. In Lewis Carroll’s time Cheshire cheesemakers put out cheese wheels with a cat printed on them, and children delighted in eating up the cheese until “nothing was left but the smile”.
#3 is, of course, Cassandra. You are correct.
I’ll wait on my DQ.
