🪺 Easter egg hunt in "Sharing Stories with a Charming Stranger on the Train" audio - ✨answers✨

Well done to those who spotted a few of the references! Most of you figured that the Speaker was on her way to board the infamous Titanic... but User_Unknown found a few more references and is the winner of this challenge. They will get to have one of their ideas picked for a script! (Please do send me a private message to let me know what you're thinking 😉 you can send me up to 3 ideas and I will pick one!)

Here is the full list:

References to the Titanic (which departed at noon in 1912 from Southampton)
“I shall not arrive in Southampton until after noon, and by then it will be too late”

References to Jack and Rose (from Titanic, the movie)
“I mean, it is clear we are… from vastly different worlds”
“I departed the state of Wisconsin”
“… bound for the New World”

“… nothing to show except a foolish sketchbook?”

“You wish to see my drawings?”


“We must play the hand we are dealt and make each day count, regardless of our circumstances.”

References to the Bloomsbury Group 
“We formed a small circle in London, gathering over a glass of wine to discuss our works. We talked about the arts, poetry, literature, politics, philosophy.”



Reference to Virginia Woolf (who was part of the Bloomsbury Group) and married Leonard Woolf in August 1912
“I hope to return in August for my friend Virginia’s wedding”

Reference to my French Maid series:
“You have inherited an estate from your late father?” (this one was a bit far-fetched but I liked the idea that they could be talking about the same estate as the one in my French Maid series)

It was faster than me, and there's nothing wrong with double checking.

User_Unknown

It wasn't 'speed' at all. I had to analyze everything twice until I realized. 😅

Luna

Haha, it's okay. At some point, the onus is on the listener to have done their required listening. 🤭

Aura

I appreciate it, fellow history buff. I have to applaud your speed as well. You got the Titanic reference before I did.

User_Unknown

Good to hear, Storm. I was worried for a moment.

User_Unknown

Thanks, Aura!

User_Unknown

Ah... well I've just spoiled it all for you now 😬

Angel

Haha yay! I still need to listen to them. I'm so far behind on audios. 😂

Aura

Oh no they didn't in the end. Sorry, my mistake: only the speaker was going to board it, but I can confirm she decided to stay in Southampton and work for the Listener instead 😉

Angel

It's okay. I didn't get all of them either.

User_Unknown

Thanks!

User_Unknown

NO WAY! 😱 I am beyond elated! Thanks, Storm. I'll send you a message as soon as I can (just need to find a bottle).

User_Unknown

Well, sue me, but I couldn’t have guessed the other references even if they were highlighted right in front of my eyes! I struggle to understand even when someone says something outright, let alone when they’re dropping hints. 😂 I think this is a sign to rewatch Titanic, the last time I watched it was years ago, and I was half-asleep through most of it. Congratulations, User_unknown—you definitely did your homework. 🤗

Luna

Ooh, congratulations to user_unknown on winning the EE hunt! Seeing all the answers, I probably would have gotten maybe one of these. I'm terrible with history and have also actually never watched the Titanic in its totality. 👀 P.S. Even though it's fiction, it's a bit tragic knowing that it was the Titanic that our characters boarded. o7

Aura

Congrats User_Unknown!

My friend Mike Brady from Oceanliner Designs would be disappointed I didn’t get all the Titanic related Easter eggs
