Quiz about Darkness at Pemberley Part two

"Darkness at Pemberley" Part two Quiz

A quiz all about the second part of T.H. White's "Darkness at Pemberley." I highly recommend this book, but it's not for squeamish or easily freaked out people. It is a murder story.

Answer: She was killed in a car crash

A fat man asked if Sir Charles Darcy and his wife, Lady Darcy, would go get a small cargo of liquor, that had been smuggled in from Holland. Sir Charles agreed, he happened to be drunk, so his wife drove the car down for him, he drove back. Four police men waved him over (it had been raining), and a dark car rushed at his car broadside.

'General disgust.'"

5. What is the name of Elizabeth's horse?

6. How did Mauleverer first try to kill Charles?

Answer: he tried to drop a tile on his head

'My dear Buller!' said the surgeon. 'I told you you ought to be a poet once before.'"

9. Does Buller kiss Elizabeth?

"Buller, with an ungovernable impulse, and under the supposition that she would never know about it in any case, laid his head beside hers with an audible sigh of gratitude and kissed her nestling ear."
