Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What colour eyes does Madge Bettany have?

Answer: Brown

They are not simply brown. Oh no. They are dark brown - the colour of old brown sherry. They are shaded by long, up-curling black lashes.

2. How old was Grizel when her father married again?

Answer: 10

He married again on Grizel's tenth birthday. Not only that, but he didn't inform his new wife that he had a child. Grizel was waiting on the steps for them when they came back from their honeymoon.
Amazingly, this is based on events in Brent-Dyer's own life.

3. Who is given the position of Second Prefect?

Answer: Bernhilda Mensch

Gisela is, of course, the first Head Girl. Bette and Gertrud are the two sub-prefects.

4. Miss Maynard is employed to teach Mathematics and which other subject?

Answer: Geography

Mademoiselle teaches sewing - as well as French and German. English is taught by Miss Bettany - it is stated that she taught English subjects - so this would probably include English History, and maybe Religious Studies too. There is no mention of Science being taught.

Many girls' school stories of this period seem to ignore Science. Later, you may know, Miss Wilson comes and teaches Science, but not in this book.

5. What is the name of the film that the visiting directors are making and in which they try to persuade the Chalet girls to appear?

Answer: Life in the Austrian Tirol

Miss Bettany refuses to allow the girls to take part in the film. However, some of the girls sneak away to appear in the film anyway. Thankfully they are stopped by Herr Mensch.

6. Which of these presents do the school as a whole NOT give to Madge Bettany on her birthday?

Answer: A picture of the Tiernsee

The picture is a gift from Joey, her sister. The school buy her the other presents.

7. What does the shepherd on the Mondscheinspitze tell Madge happens to the cows in winter?

Answer: They live in sheds

If you ever get the chance you should try and get to Austria when the cows come down for the winter. They are decorated with wreaths and it is a really lovely sight!

8. Who covers the piano keys with French chalk?

Answer: Amy

Grizel accuses Joey of playing the prank and is amazed when Amy admits to doing it.

9. By what name does Dick refer to his superior?

Answer: The Gobbler

This is how Dick refers to his superior in the letter he writes to Madge telling her not to take Juliet as a boarder. It is too late; Madge has already accepted Juliet only for Juliet's parents to have abandoned her.

10. What game are Joey and Grizel playing just before the train crash and fire?

Answer: Roadside Cribbage

Juliet and Madge both settle down to read, but both end up day-dreaming instead.
