How about a sculptor with Marble Carver?

92. This Russian-American sculptor first gained widespread attention in the 1940s when she exhibited a found shoeshine box at the Museum of Modern Art.
LOUISE NEVELSON?

28. This American tennis player won 18 Grand Slam championships between 1936 and 1940.
ALICE MARBLE
2. Even members of Congress from the segregated South voted in favor of funding a national monument to this man – the first such monument honoring an African American.
GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER

I looked the sculptor up, and she worked with wood, so that must be
92. LOUISE NEVELSON = 67. Anthony WOOD + 2. George Washington CARVER

WREN is not right.

93 is CLARK HULL

Question, is it okay to look stuff up?

Question, is it okay to look stuff up?

Yes, when no one has answered it (or answered it correctly) after a few pages/consolidations.

As mellytu74 predicted, 66. JANE ADDAMS = 93. Clark HULL + 48. Edward M. HOUSE

46 Nash

One of John Nash's best-known structures is the Marble Arch in London. So, that would match with Alice Marble and someone named Arch.

I'm a newbie. Is there another consolidation? Blanks to fill in? My list is so mucked up.

Jonathan Wild

So others have pointed out Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and the Marble Arch of John Nash.

That leaves us with Pat Day, Theresa May (who met with then-President Trump first), and Emma Madame Bovary. I don't see any connection with May Day and Madame Bovary. It would seem to fit better with Lenin, but his fit with petit bourgeosie seems too good. I don't think there's any Wobblies here. Anyone see a connection?

I've never read Madame Bovary, but from an article in The Guardian:

The outward events of Emma Bovary's life are a petit bourgeois version of the doom of Anna Karenina

There are lots of other sources that mention the phrase in connection with the novel or the character.

Concur, the novel is basically a description of petit bourgeois life

Sounds like a plan

Waiting for Le Tangredi to weigh in.

El Tangredo?

Il Tangredi?

On a trip. Not much help.

How about Lenin going with May Day?

Thanks for the game, Frank. With luck, next time I'll be able to contribute an answer or two. --Bob

Thanks for the welcome break, Frank!

Thank you sir!

I'm sorry, Frank. I can't resist inserting some politics.

Choose one: Should we thank Frank: (a) fulsomely, or (b) effusively? Vote below. --Bob

Thanks for bringing back the fun, Frank!

Frank, I hope you do another soon. Now that I see how it works and that I need to write my own list better maybe I'll get more. It was not as daunting as I had thought.
