T.H. White's "Darkness at Pemberley" Pt. 1 Quiz

Answer: the Festival Theatre

"Mr. Mauleverer was taking the occupier, an undergraduate named Weans, to the Festival Theatre. He was also taking Mr. Beedon, the history don whose rooms were on A staircase."

Answer: Copper Street

Mr. Mauleverer sent Weans to get Mr. Beedon, but Weans got no answer from Beedon. So Weans went back down to tell Mauleverer, and asked him if he should go to Copper Street and yell at Beedon from there.

Answer: a gramophone started playing

"In the silence which followed, a gramophone began to play inside the room."
In much of Part 1, Inspector Buller is trying to figure out how the gramophone started playing.

Answer: 6

First Weans, then Mauleverer, the Master of the college, the Chaplain, the porter, and finally Miss Edgeworth.

Answer: an automatic with silencer

"Well, sir, I wouldn't rush to any conclusions, but I see it this way. The wounds were inflicted with the same weapon: the automatic with silencer on the table there, which was found in this man Beedon's hand."

Answer: cocaine

"Actually," said the sugeon, "I knew the old man took cocaine. But how did you?"
"His eyes struck me as curious, so I got him to take his spectacles off and had a good look at him. The pupils were contracted to pinpoints."

Answer: a poet

"'It comes to this,' said the Inspector, 'you can suspect anybody once you entertain suspicion. It's an extraordinary thing how remote human beings are from one another. We go here and there like cats, meeting, fraternising, diverging. Sometimes we have alibis and sometimes not. But always, inside, everybody is incalculable and secret, always locked up and impenetrably alone. the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.'
'You ought to have been a poet.' said the doctor."

Answer: he was Irish

"He was an Irishman and we had never got on with each other."

Answer: True

Mr. Mauleverer did confess to killing both the men; unfortunately, Buller did not have enough evidence to hold up in court. He later said that Mr. Mauleverer told him that because of his vanity.

Answer: the porter, Rudd

"Rudd hasn't been in all night. His wife didn't let me know before because apparently he's done the same thing once or twice already. She seems to think he has a girl in Swavesey. But this morning one of the gardeners found a lot of blood on some clothes which he leaves in the gardening shed on the Backs and she got frightened."
