Hi,
So I have finally had a chance to put together all the answers I have
had about "no answer was the stern reply."
However it is not good news. No one has come up with the answer.
This quotation went to Ask a Librarian and someone even sent it to
Quote Unquote on Radio 4.
The nearest we got was Lewis Carroll Alice in Wonderland - the
Walrus and the Carpenter but when we read the quotation it was "but
answer came there none" which is not near enough.
Some people suggested a poem called A day in the life of a computer
trainer and while that has the correct line that is not where my
colleague knows it from.
So I am afraid to say that we have given up unsatisfied!
