"Bloody Jack," by L. A. Meyer Trivia Quiz

Answer: She dies and Muck takes her

Jacky is sure Penny has been "put up in" one of Muck's jars.

Answer: No

They are "Please Mum please Mum." Rooster Charlie's gang gets mostly by begging (and a bit of stealing), but Jacky and Rooster Charlie don't really think she's cut out for begging.

Answer: Charlie

Jacky trips over Charlie, who is lying in the street, and he's dead. Later Jacky tells a boy from another gang, Toby, that she thinks it was Muck who killed Rooster Charlie.

Answer: None of them

Davy cannot splice a line, but he uses that as a reason to be hired as a Ship's Boy for the HMS Dolphin anyway. He picked the term up while hanging around some sailors.

Answer: "The Tenpenny Bit"

"I have four tunes by heart now," Jacky says, "The Tenpenny Bit" was the easiest, so Liam showed her that one first. "Down by the Sally Gardens" is a "slow and sad song" that Jacky likes to play, and "The Ship Boy's Lament" is the tune she writes after Benjy is killed in the fight with the pirates.

Answer: Dark blue

Jacky bites her lip while "the dark blue anchor starts to appear," but she doesn't cry out. The whole thing is done in only fifteen minutes.

Answer: Blooming

Jacky is feeling very fed up about growing into a woman because she now has to wear Rooster Charlie's vest under her shirt to bind her breasts, and she says she "could have swatted" Tilly.

Answer: That no one will fancy her

Davy says Jacky was talking out of her head the night after she was beaten, saying, "No one's gonna fancy me. I'm gonna be ugly and no one's gonna fancy me!"

Answer: No

Mr. Jenkins fights Bliffil to defend Davy after Bliffil trips him as an excuse to beat him. Liam is the one who defends Jacky, telling Sloat, "Touch any o' the boys again and I'll kill you where you stand."

Answer: Liam

Sloat's last words, as he washes overboard, are curse words, and what he usually calls Liam when he sees him. Along with Liam's threat to Sloat a few days before, Sloat's mates have enough evidence to charge him with the crime.

Answer: Twenty minutes

Jaimy just stands there looking at Jacky for "a good ten minutes." Then he sits down and stares at her for *another* ten minutes. When he finally recovers from the shock, he asks Jacky what they should do. And Jacky replies, "Well, Jaimy, you can kiss me, if you love me."

Answer: Yes

Davy thinks he'll die of shame if he has to wear one of those caps.

Answer: Dear stupid boy

Jaimy doesn't understand at first that Jacky wants to change into a dress so that they can "for once, just once, walk out in the world as a boy and girl." If you remember, Jaimy doesn't become a Midshipman until later on, right about the time Jacky does.

Answer: All of these

Jacky decides she must be the "good one" in her and Jaimy's relationship because she's the one with sense. But she still does like to play around with different versions of her future married name.

Answer: Hope

This is because she thinks she'll surely die after the wind dies down a bit, but then Hope lands on the shores of an island and Jacky is saved.

Answer: Some chowder

Someone says, "Please don't mind her, Sir, she's out of her mind."

Answer: Davy

Davy is quite please with himself for sneaking onto the ship and by the guards, and he tells her some news about the rest of the crew.

Answer: A concertina

Liam gives Jacky the concertina that used to belong to Grant.

Answer: His wife

When Mr. Lawrence asks Jacky if she thinks Mrs. Lawrence will like it, Jacky says yes, but adds that he'd best not tell her that Bloody Jack Faber was the first to wear it.

Answer: Brave

The last bit of Jacky's closing words is, "I'll try to be brave but I never was really very brave..."
