Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The ballroom was a scene of decadence. Sleeping bodies and empty bottles everywhere - even the orchestra was snoring. What a disaster! If he had not behaved so dishonourably - been such a bounder - he might have asked for Lady Grayson's hand. After this he knew it was too late.
2. Her blond hair hung in wet ringlets. She was only nineteen and her dissolute father had sold her to wicked Count Harkness to settle his gambling debt. The ropes were tight and the open mesh fabric they had thrown over her head scratched her face and blocked her vision a little. Outside her door Annabel could hear the guards drawing lots for her favours.
3. Prince Leo leapt across the drawbridge and onto his faithful horse Pansy in a single bound. He turned and raised his thumb in rude salute to the angry guards. He reeled his horse and as he rode away, began to sing a wordless tune.
4. They had searched the length and breadth of the kingdom to find Betsy - the young maid who had stolen the King's heart. Maybe this village could help in the quest. The town crier took the scroll and began to recite the words on the parchment to the hushed crowd.
5. Antoine placed the wine goblet on the table and stared at Candace. Her breath came in gasps and she knew she loved him. The white, figured fabric that trimmed his shirt, highlighted the brown of his long neck. Candace swooned.
6. George Henry - the skilled silversmith - had fashioned the long dagger with great care and now began work on the fine filigree the king had demanded. If he was ever to see his beloved Charlotte and baby Emily again, this must be a perfect replica. The messenger had said if it was not finished by nightfall, they would put to death both members of his precious family.
7. Howard watched wretchedly as the young maiden was tied to the track by the wicked villain, Henzell Carruthers. He felt powerless to help her but still struggled to ease the ropes burning into his flesh.
8. The conditions the villagers suffered at the hands the heartless noble, Lord Bignell were frightful. Henrietta would speak to the king the next time she was at court and tell him about the starving children and the daily floggings. It was the correct thing to do. She just wished she felt a little braver.
9. Flames licked at the doorway of the cottage. Squire Cummings leapt from his horse and into the fire to save the fair Rosamund. He dragged her unconscious form from the charred ruins and laid her on the back of his horse. He had gashed his foot in the gallant rescue and was unable to walk properly. He struggled onto the horse and rode them swiftly away from the burning village.
10. Charles was sweating profusely as he watched the gun being loaded and then pointed roughly in his face. He did not consume any of the food they had given him early this morning and now felt dizzy. He heard the drug dealer release the safety catch. Darkness engulfed him.
