Hi, all!
I'm playing in the Internet version of Chto?Gde?Kogda? In the most
recent round of questions there was the following:
11.
ONI izvestny nam izdavna. Britanskuju vetv' IH roda prerval izvestnyj
svoej svirepost'ju predvoditel' shotlandskogo klana. Soglasno
Nabokovu, odin iz NIH byl byl personazhem odnogo iz samyh pervyh
hudozhestvennyh proizvedenij. Odin iz NIH byl i geroem izvestnogo
proizvedenija, napisannogo v 30-h godah. Nazovite drugogo geroja
ehtogo proizvedenija.
Does anybody recognize the quote? Who are THEY? I'd be grateful for a
quick answer, off-list if needed. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Leonid Okneanski.

EDITOR's NOTE. I don't know the game, but the answer presumably has to do
with Lermontov and his supposed connection with the Scottish Learmonts.
