Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the earlier chapters of "The Gatehouse Mystery", Trixie and Honey test Jim's memory by asking what Mrs. Wheeler was wearing that evening. What did Jim answer?

Answer: A pale, short blue dress with white shoes and no jewelry

Jim obviously wasn't paying much attention. However, later in the chapter Jim returns the challenge, and Trixie and Honey do little better than he did. So, in the end it was something of a draw.

2. In chapter six, Trixie is trying to stay awake. What does she do to help herself obtain this goal?

Answer: Gulped some hot coffee

Trixie was trying to stay awake in order to catch a thief in the act of stealing something. Unfortunately, it didn't work quite the way she'd planned.

3. What do the Bob-Whites think Nailor looks like?

Answer: A peanut

They thought Nailor looked like a shriveled peanut.
When you first meet Dick, he was decribed by Trixie as looking like a weasel. Later on she describes him as a mink--even she had to admit he looked nice in his suit.

4. Brian, Trixie, Mart, Jim, and Honey want to make a club. Which of these names was NOT suggested?

Answer: The Bob-White Mounties

They were discussing the Canadian Mounties, but never actually suggested anything linked to the name.

5. What does Honey say inspired her nickname?

Answer: The color of her hair

Honey's eyes are hazel, not honey-colored. She certainly could have been nicknamed that because of her personality, but she wasn't, and as far as I know she has a perfectly normal voice.

6. During the climax of the story, what city does Dick say he was "working" in before he came to Sleepyside?

Answer: New York City

Dick was stealing with his partner Louie in New York City when he took the diamond.

7. What name does Mrs. Wheeler call any cook in her household?

Answer: Rachel

The other all-purpose name that the Wheeler family calls all cooks is "Cook". It's very practical of them.

8. What does Dick tell Trixie to explain how he got his black eye?

Answer: He said he got kicked in the face by Jupiter.

Dick actually got into a fight with his partner-in-crime, Louie.

9. At one point the BWGs become convinced Honey's jewelry box was stolen, along with the diamond hidden inside it. What really happened to the box?

Answer: Celia had moved it into another room.

The Bob-Whites really should have looked around more carefully before panicking!

10. In "The Gatehouse Mystery", which of these did Dick not call Trixie?

Answer: Interfering little brat

Until the end, Dick was very polite-to everyone but Trixie.
