Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Why did Charlotte and her siblings have to spend the night at the Waitts' house?

Answer: Lucy was going to have her baby

Squeezed in bed with her sisters at the Waitts' house, Charlotte could not sleep because of her concerns over Lucy. She soon realized that Mrs. Waitt was not surprised and Lydia was not worried about Lucy because Lucy was simply going into labor.
2. What was the Blue-back?

Answer: A speller

The Blue-back was the speller shared by Lydia, Tom, and Charlotte. Named for its blue-green cover, the Blue-back contained lists of spelling words to learn, reading passages, poems, and fables.
3. According to Mama, what does the first bairn (baby) teach its mother?

Answer: To worry

When Charlotte and Will were puzzled by how anxious Lucy was acting since the baby was born, Mama laughed and explained that the first bairn teaches its mother to worry. The second, third, and fourth bairns teach their mother to pray, laugh over spilled milk, and clean up spilled milk with one hand while stirring porridge with the other, respectively.
4. Onto whose coat does Charlotte sew a button while banished to the school's cloakroom?

Answer: Master Jenkins

When Charlotte turned in her seat to see if Lydia was going to pass her their spelling book, Master Jenkins sent her to sit in the cold cloakroom. Charlotte noticed a button hanging off one of the larger coats and, thinking it was her classmate Albert Parrish's, she began to fix it. As she was finishing, Master Jenkins came in outraged to discover Charlotte meddling with his coat.
5. What did Master Jenkins hope to participate in building in New York?

Answer: The Erie Canal

On the last day of school, Master Jenkins announced to the class that although his months with them had been delightful, he did not expect to return the following year because he was planning to go to New York. There, Master Jenkins hoped to participate in the building of the Erie Canal.
6. Which of Ellie Till's relatives was fond of asking children to spell words?

Answer: Uncle Asa

Ellie Till's Uncle Asa was fond of asking children to spell words and rewarding them with gingerbread. Charlotte always ate her food in "tense anticipation," nervous that Uncle Asa would someday call upon her to spell.
7. Which Tucker child nearly drowned at Gravelly Point?

Answer: Mary

When Lewis and the adults traveled to Boston to see the President, Lydia was left in charge. Mary tagged along with Tom and Charlotte to dig for clams at Gravelly Point and while her brother and sister argued over who should help her, Mary slipped into the water. Tom tied a rope around his waist, swam out to Mary, and Charlotte pulled the two to safety.
8. When the Dudleys moved to Kentucky, who moved into their old house?

Answer: Will and Lucy

Upon hearing that tinsmiths were needed out west, the Dudleys sold their house to move to Kentucky. To Charlotte's dismay, Will and Lucy (along with baby William), bought and moved into the Dudley's old house across Washington Street.
9. Where did Charlotte see a nineteen pound radish?

Answer: A Cattle Show

The Tuckers traveled to Brighton, Massachusetts to attend a Cattle Show with contests for plowing, livestock, and produce. Charlotte was amazed by the prize vegetables including a nineteen pound radish that was almost big enough to make a comfortable seat for a small child.
10. What jewel was rumored to be lost in the Bull's Head Inn?

Answer: A ruby

Rumor had it that fifteen years ago, Captain Butterworth had lost the ruby intended for his wife at the Bull's Head Inn. It had yet to be recovered and was known as the famous, lost, Butterworth Ruby.
