Another Quick Puzzler

Like “The Odd Man” and “The Honest Swindler”, this is another session with the Puzzle Club, a group that includes everyone from plutocrats to poets. Even when, as in this case, the solution revolves around a piece of rather arcane knowledge, the short excursion still amuses. And Taber Burns never disappoints.

Timing muffins

Cute little story, I thought at first that there was an error in the time stated. But it was great for timing the muffins I was cooking for tomorrow 's breakfast.

Tough trivia question imbedded in a mystery

I like this format. Spoiler alert .... don’t read further if you want to solve this as is....if you want a further clue which will probably not help either, it follows.... I’m trying to take up some space so you don’t accidentally see the clue if you don’t want to.... possibly a SPOILER....if you don’t know this pretty quickly then you won’t because it is not a deduction and not just a guess...there’s a verse in the story and my clue is simply an alternate verse which could also have been used: oh oh oh, to touch and feel very green vegetables, ah heaven.
