Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What are the names of Ramses and Nefret's twins?

Answer: Davy and Charla

The twins are two years old in this book. Davy was named after David, and Charla was named after Amelia's mother Charlotte.
2. What is the name of the restorer Cyrus hired to restore the ancient jewelry?

Answer: Martinelli

Martinelli had once worked for Sethos, but Sethos claimed Martinelli had reformed. Cyrus hired him to restore the jewelry he found in the tomb of a princess.
3. What is the name of Justin Fitzroyce's attendant?

Answer: Francois

Justin Fitzroyce is a young boy whom the Emersons befriend. The boy was prone to tantrums, and during one of these tantrums Francois had to lay hands on him to keep him under control. Ramses, not knowing the situation, assumed that Francois was hurting the child, and got into a fight with him. Francois held a grudge against him for that throughout the book.
4. Justin calls Nefret "the pretty Mrs. Emerson".

Answer: True

It turns out that "Justin" is not even a boy, but a young woman. The woman is the daughter of Bertha. Bertha was Sethos' lover before he left her in his pursuit of Amelia. Bertha was killed in "The Ape Who Guards the Balance", when she tried to murder Amelia.
5. What "goddess" takes Ramses prisoner?

Answer: Hathor

Hathor was an ancient Egyptian goddess who was often depicted as a cow. She was the mother of the famous god Horus. The goddess was played by "Justin", because she wanted to see what Ramses was like.
6. What does Emerson buy that Amelia does not approve of?

Answer: Motorcar

Throughout the series, Amelia has expressed her opinions on the subject of motorcars. She does not like them at all, and thinks they are dangerous. Emerson, on the other hand, loves them. This particular motorcar causes some damage, however. In an attempt to kill Selim, the motorcar was tampered with.

While Selim was driving it during one of his famous "Fantasias", a wheel was lost and the car flipped over, injuring him greatly.
7. Mrs. Fitzroyce is actually which of the Emerson's former adversaries?

Answer: Matilda

Matilda worked for Bertha, and the two were very close. Matilda had always hated Amelia, but that hate intensified when Bertha was killed by the Emersons.
8. What is the name of the Fitzroyce's dahabeeyah?

Answer: The Isis

Nefret and Emerson are captured by the "Fitzroyces" on their boat the Isis. The rest of them family are soon on their trail on their own dahabeeyah, the Amelia.
9. Who dies after she/he "lit the fuse"?

Answer: Justin

The Emersons foil Justin's plans completely. She planned to overtake the boat that was carrying all of Cyrus Vandergelt's jewelry, steal it, and kill all of the Emersons in the process. After the Emersons are through, however, the jewelry is safe, and so is the family. When she knows all of her plans are destroyed, she lights a stick of dynamite on the Isis.
10. What does the family find out about Sethos that they had always wanted to know?

Answer: What his real name is

Sethos had always used the name "Sethos". Previously Amelia had always referred to him as "the Master Criminal", but she no longer called him that once she found out who he really was. It was Evelyn who asked Sethos what his real name was. It turns out that it was Seth, which is quite appropriate. Set was the Egyptian god of chaos, and Sethos was an Egyptian pharoah. Seth was also the third son of Adam and Eve, just as Sethos is the third, forgotten son of Emerson's father.

I hope you enjoyed this quiz and "Children of the Storm".
