Evening All, Hope this is not 'The Weather'!
I'm afraid this is going to be good news for a few, bad news for most and extremely bad news for one player who changed a correct answer into a wrong one.
'The Lady Radley' (aka handbaglady) had you all flummoxed once more. There were lots to choose from, but few meetings of minds. Here are her chosen links:-
SUNDAY School
SOCIAL Class
MasterPIECE
TRINITY Term
A total of just seven players earned a mere 12 points between them - so who were they? Read on below.

Three of the four links fell in the opening rush.
The first was taken by Aquagility who made an investment in a MASTERPIECE for two points. Then much later, Mirandasmum tagged along for a single point (More abour her later)
Strix obviously had a strict upbringing (or a crush on his Sunday-school teacher) as SUNDAY SCHOOL fortunately came immediately to his mind for his 2 points. Wickedtongue was like-minded and later picked up a single.
At just 9:05, along came Kawakiri with SOCIAL CLASS (2 points) and this too was very much later matched (in fact early on Sunday morning) by Twix123.
Finally, I have to draw a parallel with waiting for buses (sorry Sarumite). You wait 1hr 40mins and three come along together! A genuine TRINITY of players. 10:41 and Wickedtongue signed up for TRINITY TERM (2 points). The next two players, although outide the two-minute window for bonus points, chose the same term.
Miss Meg picked up her 1 point, but then alas, the third bus broke down and Mirandasmum substituted a relief called HILARY (Pass the tissues please Mirandasdad.)
It only remains to summon up the trumpets to announce that the
*** HOTSHOT OF THE WEEK ***
*** IS WICKEDTONGUE ***
who was not only the first to find the final link but also the only double-hitter in the entire game.
Congratulations Wickedtongue.

POSTSCRIPT
===========
I must be honest and admit to being somewhat confused by a double entry from **Cupid04**.
Saturday 09:54 ... school mistress / first class / headmaster / half term
Sunday 01:45 ..... school dinners / class divide / past master / full term
I accepted the first answer, but in the absence of a request to replace the original, I simply ignored the second post (not that it made any difference this time).
ALSO
=====
A big welcome to new player **cupid04**
You'll soon get the hang of it.

LOL Mirandasmum.
We aim to please but most players requesting a change would rather we accepted their change (generally because of too many or too few letters in their answer).
By the way (BTW), one thing that I was pondering during the scoring is:-
"Is a 'Past Master' the same as a 'History Teacher'?"
