7) Jane Eyre
8) The Importance of Being Ernest?
9) Little Women
10) ?
11) Jeeves and Wooster? It sounds like Jeeves and Wooster but I don't actually know. :(

14) The Scarlet Pimpernel
15) I've only heard of this show but it's something about Paradise I think?
I feel like I cheated because I answered some of these this morning and then didn't actually comment because I wanted to think about them some more. Then on the way to church I was listening to the audiobook of Little Women so got that one, and then watched The Importance of Being Ernest this evening, which is what I think eight is... not sure.
Anyways, thanks for doing it. It was fun. :)

Well, that wasn't as easy as I thought it might be...but thanks for the game!
7. Actually, I don't think Miss Havisham burns the house down, so it can't be ‘Great Expectations’. One of my siblings guessed ‘Jane Eyre’ which I think is the answer. It could also be ‘Ivanhoe’.
