Quote:
Madame Blanca lived in a handsome town house in Amandier. Her man showed us through to the parlour, where she was already seated at a round table, which was covered in along, purple cloth of florid design. Three younger ladies sat with her, their darting eyes betraying a certain agitation.

Two chairs remained unoccupied. We took our places and Madame Blanca nodded to her man, who drew the curtains together and backed away through the doors bowing as he closed the room.

The parlour was a tribute to the taxidermist's art. Stags peered down, their antlers scraping the ceiling. A falcon swooped upon a luckless vole. From every cabinet and every corner, the dead assessed us with aglassy eye.

Upright in her chair, our host examined each of us in turn. She took my hand and that of the lady on her left, and the others followed, linking their hands around the table. She bowed her head and I felt her grip tighten.

The shadows seemed to darken as she growled deep in her throat. Her voice rumbled like ageyser from the earth.

"Gyvann! Baka! Orisann! Uncouple the gates of your world and allow the spirits of our fellows to pass freely! I, your priestess, am prostrate at your altar. Hear me and my prayer. Shima! Shima! Shima!"

I have heard such speeches before.


And no, that's not meant to be Madame Bianca.

 		I'm still working on this but i believe it is something to do with the following

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Picture this a novel by Joseph heller which is about rembrandt painting a picture of homer contemplating the bust of aristotle, whether we are looking for a name of a character i do not know


the solve page asks for two names i.e the full name of a person.

Clue 1:

Nothing to do with a film.

You're CLOSER than you know!


Clue 2:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Who is the most recent person to link the four names?

 		Thanks! That confirms my thoughts. Unfortunately I'd already also tried Huey Lewis (album Picture This) and Deborah Harry (Blondie single Picture This) today, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow.

 		I have finally solved ths card and now feel really let down by it. It could have had a so much better answer, it reminds me of swarms and polar from last season.

I disagree I thought it was very clever. And definitely head banging when you got it.

Then again, I likes Swarms as well.

 		going off topic i did enjoy swarms as well but as there were at least two things that were actually siblings the answer was a tad annoying and i think the same holds true here the research was so much fun i wanted it to have more to do with the answer. Although i am now tempted to read the book

 		Lateral thinking, as they say. Who is the most recent person to mention all four names together? The answer is so close it could bite you.

 		Let me guess.
I bet the answer is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the title of the last track from the 1994 album "Monster" by R.E.M.
Or, if you're too lazy to do that:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
YOU

Is that correct?

EDIT: Poozle - Spoilerised the guess, could give away.
