I accidentally added a theme too. Alphabits
Confused cupids Clarence, Chris and Carl came after Carla to clobber her. And just like always, Clarence the clumsy one, dropped his clobberer after seeing that Carla had already croaked.

Yes Carla had finished reading Little Women and just died from it.

Resources and things I discovered.
First, I discovered that the reference page -link- provided had a mistake. The pipe wrench was actually patented in October the year before under the patent #95,744. The patent referred to (#107,304) was for a variation with smooth jaws to be used as a nut wrench. After fussing about it for a while and trying to figure out what to do (since I was almost done), I finally noticed something. The patent for the pipe wrench was applied for in September only one month before its October issue date. So, it was still legal to use. Yeah!!!!
After all of that I just went with the reference page for the book "Little Women"

The real Bouguereau
Book cover design
The wrenches and actual book are my own photos.
