Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who proposes to Joey Bettany before she goes to India?

Answer: Raymond Bettlesdon

Dr Raymaond Bettlesdon is an American doctor who will not take no for an answer from Jo. The Duc di Mirolani is Raoul who marries Joey's friend Princess Elisaveta. Andre de Bersac is introduced as a friend of Joey's friend Simone - they later marry. Robin Humphries is, of course, The Robin, Joey's adopted sister.
2. What is the name of the little child that the girls meet on board the ship to India?

Answer: Duleep

Duleep, a little boy, turns out to be Robin's cousin. Marya is Robin's mother. Lila is Duleep's mother, therefore Robin's aunt. Tara is Duleep's paternal grandmother and becomes a sort of adopted grandmother to Robin.
3. Which book by Louisa M Alcott does Joey turn into a play?

Answer: An Old Fashioned Girl

These are all books by Louisa M Alcott. Joey bases her play on "An Old Fashioned Girl", but doesn't try to write American dialogue for it. We finally discover why Joey had to get Mollie a copy of "Queechy" - she tore out the illustrations to help with the scenery for the play.
4. What colour is the new dress that Dick and Mollie give Jo for Christmas?

Answer: Green

Well, of course it's green - it's Joey; her favourite colour for dresses - and hats - is jade green! This dress has peacock feathers embroidered on it. Robin's new dress is cream with little crystals set in red florets.
5. On the way to do some shopping for dress material in Madikere the girls see an animal. They, at first, think it's an elephant, but what is it really?

Answer: Buffalo

They spot something grey and think it must be an elephant; it turns out to be a buffalo. They see the other animals and elephants on their Christmas safari - when they ride elephants too.
6. The Robin becomes seriously ill with what illness?

Answer: Rheumatic Fever

Robin runs off after an argument with Joey. Joey had failed to keep her promise to go blackberrying with Robin. The Robin sprains her ankle and also gets Rheumatic Fever. Joey helps nurse Robin back to health.
7. When the girls make their trip to Kashmir, how do they travel?

Answer: Plane

The Maharanee sends her own plane, a De Havilland DH90, to collect them. It is their first flight. They hit some stormy weather and experience turbulence and the Robin is sick.
8. Joey decides to learn some Indian cookery, but makes some mistakes with her spices and seasonings. She adds too much asafoetida to her kheer. What does she add to kedgeree instead of cumin?

Answer: Fennel seeds

The other ingredients were part of other Chalet School cookery mix-ups.
9. What present does Dacia give Joey as a leaving gift?

Answer: A painting

Joey does receive all these gifts during the book: the dress from Dick and Mollie at Christmas; the shawl from the Maharanee as a thank-you gift; the chocolates from Raymond Bettlesdon. She gives the chocolates away to children at the San!
10. Just before leaving India, Joey receives another proposal. Who proposes this time?

Answer: Gareth Parsons

Gareth is the brother of Joey's new friend Dacia who falls in love with Joey. She lets him down gently as she doesn't love him. Eric Standish marries Dacia and they later have a daughter Erica who is adopted by Joey many years later. Raymond Bettlesdon is waiting for Jo when she returns to Austria, but she manges to tell him, very clearly, to leave her alone. Jack Maynard does marry Joey, but not until the next book in the series - "Exile".
