Description
linnet /'li-net/ n . Middle French linette , from lin flax, from Latin linum ; from its feeding on flax seeds circa 1530 : a common small brownish Old World finch (Acanthis cannabina ). HANNAH DUE WAS FROM Grand Forks, North Dakota. Like me, she was home-schooled, although she was the kind of home-schooler who wore blue denim jumpers and blushed when people said hell instead of heck. At the 2003 Scripps-Howard National Spelling Bee, I stared at the back of her head for several rounds because bee procedure dictates that the next three spellers line up behind the person currently spelling, so that everything proceeds decently and in order. The master of affairs will not call your name, because it is the only word in a bee that does not matter. You are expected to know that you are speller 1, or 21, or 251, and to stand in the proper sequence because no one will call your number either. So I, number 41, followed Hannah Due, 40, for six rounds, studying her wilted blond ponytail and her hands wringing behind her back.
