Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who is the surprise visitor to the Sonnalpe at the start of the story?

Answer: The King of Belsornia

Princess Elisaveta was to go on the camping holiday. Her father came to wish her a pleasant trip. While he was there, curious Rix Bettany asked him why he did not wear his crown all the time, and the King told him that it would not be comfortable to wear it always!

2. Beside which lake did the Guides set up their camp?

Answer: Baumersee

They found a quiet spot beside the lake and set up their camp. There were a couple of farms nearby, from which they could buy milk and butter. The girls were thrilled when they saw how beautiful the lake was.

3. Three guiders accompanied the girls. Which of the following teachers was NOT a guider?

Answer: Miss Maynard

Miss Maynard was a teacher at the Chalet School in its early days, but by the time the girls went camping, she had married and was supposed to be going to New Zealand. Grizel Cochrane and Juliet Carrick also went to the camp, as they were due to be starting teaching at the new Chalet School Annexe the following term.

4. A young boy from a nearby farm was going through the tents when the girls were singing round the campfire the first night in camp.

Answer: False

It was actually a dog. Rufus, Jo's dog, suddenly began barking furiously and finally a small dog came running out of the tent and dashed off to its own home.

5. When the girls were out gathering firewood, who fell into a hidden pit?

Answer: Jo

Miss Wilson went quickly to see what had happened to Jo, but Jo did not recognise her voice when she called down to her. It was only when she had been rescued from the hole that she discovered she had called the Guide Captain an idiot. She was very embarrassed about the whole thing.

6. Early one morning, Juliet, Grizel and Jo went fishing. What did they catch after they had filled their baskets with fish?

Answer: A dummy

When the dummy first appeared just below the surface of the water, the three girls thought that they had caught a dead body and were all very upset. However, when the local farmers searched the lake they found the dummy and the girls felt much relieved.

7. What did Evadne do that created a sensation?

Answer: Knocked down a hornets' nest

The hornets came angrily out of their nest once Evadne had knocked it to the ground and several of the girls got badly stung. Fortunately, the local farmers came and sprayed the hornets and killed them all, so the girls were in no more danger.

8. Was the weather fine for the whole of the Guide camp?

Answer: No

It came on to rain one night after they had all gone into their tents. Jo, Frieda and Marie knew that they had to loosen the guy ropes, so they crept out of their tent and loosened the ropes of their tent and some of the big tents. No one else was disturbed by the rain, although they did wake Miss Wilson with their activities.

9. What activity did the Quintette embark on when most of the other Guides were out on a ramble?

Answer: Washing their clothes

The Quintette - Evadne, Elsie, Margia, Cornelia and Ilonka - discovered that they had no clean clothes so they decided to wash some of their dirty ones. Unfortunately, they did not know what they were doing and their attempts at washing were not very successful.

10. At the end of the camp Frieda was pleased to have won which Guide badge?

Answer: Boatswain

To win the Boatswain badge, the girls had to be able to swim, tie knots and sail some kind of boat.
The girls had thoroughly enjoyed their camp and were really sad to leave the beautiful Baumersee. I hope you have enjoyed the quiz almost as much!
