Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. For how many chapters were Edward and Zoe angry, or at least cold-mannered, toward each other?

Answer: 5

Edward and Zoe seemed almost too much alike, each waiting for the other to make the first move of apology. Zoe eventually resorted to trying to run away, in hopes that she would die and therefore relieve Edward of his 'burden'. Her scheme was foiled when her dress got caught in the door, but it just so happened that Edward was coming home to apologize anyway.

2. Who gave birth to a baby girl in this story?

Answer: Violet

Very near the end of the story, Violet gave birth to her first child, who they named Elsie.

3. Who talked Max into smoking a cigar?

Answer: Ralph Conly

Ralph Conly had quite the evil influence on Max. Max paid for smoking by being sick and having to spend the night at Roselands.

4. What did Captain Raymond forbid Lulu to read?

Answer: dime novels

Captain Raymond forbid Lulu to read those kind of books, claiming they were poisonous to the mind.

5. Gracie accidentally made mischief in Violet's room. What treasured thing of Violet's did she break?

Answer: a cut-glass bottle of perfume, which was a gift from Violet's father

Since Violet usually let Gracie have a few drops of the perfume anyway, Gracie figured she could use some without asking. But the bottle slipped out of her hand and shattered.

6. What did Edward give Zoe for their first anniversary?

Answer: a set of pearls

Zoe received this unlooked-for gift with much delight. She said she had nothing to give Edward in return except herself, which she had already given him. He returned that she was the most priceless treasure that earth could afford.

7. Aunt Dicey claimed it was "powerful strange" for young Elsie to do what?

Answer: to go to Europe as a young lady and come back with a husband and baby

Young Elsie replied to this remark by saying she had come back much richer than when she had left.

8. Why did Max get confined to his room for a week?

Answer: Mr. Dinsmore caught him gambling and cussing

Ralph taught Max how to gamble. Once, when Ralph had won all of Max's money and Max's watch, Max accused him of cheating and exclaimed an oath. Mr. Dinsmore was nearby and overheard.

9. Who was the one who succeeded in making trouble between Edward and Zoe?

Answer: Miss Deane

Miss Deane was mean-spirited, and thought it would be fun to cause trouble between Edward and Zoe. She did this by always forcing Edward to do things with her, and by condescending Zoe.

10. Mr. Lilburn came for a visit in this book.

Answer: True

A few of the residents at Ion had never met Mr. Lilburn (or Cousin Ronald) before, and so his ventriloquism was new to them.
