2. What saint did Alice have a picture of underneath her mattress?

Answer: Saint Agnes

Alice found a picture of Saint Agnes on the street near her new house in Silver Spring. She figured it must belong to Elizabeth Price, the Catholic girl across the street, but she kept it anyway.

Answer: An advertisement for an adopted mother

The advertisement read:

'WANTED: Adopted Mother
Must be tall, smart, and beautiful

Alice wrote this in hopes that Mrs. Plotkin would show it to Miss Cole and the younger teacher would catch the hint.

6. How does Alice embarrass herself on Halloween?

Alice and her friend Pamela share a horse costume. They are fooling around and dancing when Alice kicks Miss Cole. She is so embarrassed that she turns around and runs home.

7. What did Patrick write on the valentine he made for Alice?

Answer: "I like you a lot."

Patrick gives Alice a valentine and writes on it, "I like you a lot", but doesn't sign his name. Alice figures out who wrote it by matching the planes he'd drawn on the envelope with some planes he drew for school.

8. Who does Alice go to visit by way of a train?

When Alice and Patrick start hanging out, Alice is jealous that Patrick has been all over the world and she hasn't. She asks her dad if she can go somewhere, and he sends her on a train to Chicago to see her aunt and uncle.

Answer: Gives it to an orphan

When she is on the train coming home, Alice learns about the orphans on the train from the porter. She leaves it in her roomette with a note for the porter, telling him to give it to one of the girls.

10. Mrs. Plotkin gives the ring that has been passed down in her family to Pamela.

Answer: False

Mrs. Plotkin intended to give the ring to her daughter, as was the family tradition. She never had a daughter, however, and so she gave it to Alice.
