Catherine Alliott is 'Not That Kind of Girl' Quiz

Answer: Tate

Henrietta's maiden name is Tate. Her married name is Levin as her husband's name is Marcus Levin. She would have been Ferguson if she had married Rupert and she works for Laurence (Laurie) de Havilland. She goes by Henny for much of the book.

Answer: Uncle

Penny gets Henny a job interview with Laurie. She has an image of an old man in tweed, smoking a pipe and calling her 'M'dear', when in actual fact he is not much older than she is and surprisingly handsome.

Answer: Benji

Benji is Henny's (very gay) younger brother. He says he had no choice but to be gay, because his name only allows him to be gay or a 'Blue Peter dog'. Francis is Benji's (less gay) life partner, Marcus is her husband and Angus is their son.

Answer: He caught her kissing Laurie

Upon their move to their farm in Kent Marcus and Henny decided to buy a flat in Kensington on the assumption that they would always be 'popping' up to London so they would need somewhere to stay. On her second day working for Laurie, Henny accidentally takes three of Marcus' sleeping pills thinking they're painkillers. She manages to make it to work while the pills are kicking in, then Laurie takes her out for lunch to show her the ropes. She decides to order a double gin and tonic thinking that it will perk her up, when naturally it does the opposite. After Henny explains what has happened, Laurie takes her to the flat in Kensington so she can sleep off the pills, but being rather drunk by this time too she drags him up to the bedroom and starts kissing him. Marcus then walks in and catches the two of them. After sleeping off the pills Henny goes home (with no memory of the afternoon) to find the children are staying with friends and Marcus is at a hotel until she can move her things out. After confronting Marcus she finds out what has happened and pleads with him to reconsider. He tells her to leave so she goes and packs her things as he asked.

Marcus wouldn't have been kissing Fabrice because Fabrice is a horse.

Answer: Rupert

Rupert and Laurie where in the army together. Upon finding out that Henny now works for Laurie, Rupert begins following her, until she comes out of Benji's house very upset after her confrontation with Marcus. He asks Henny to meet him by the Peter Pan statue in Kensington Gardens the next day.

Answer: Rupert jilted Henny

Sixteen years before the start of the book, Rupert was due to be posted to Hong Kong for three years, so he suggested that they get married before he leaves. Henny and her family are so excited that they don't notice Rupert's lack of enthusiasm. Henny arrived at her wedding to be continually told to drive around the block.

She gets out of the car after being told that she has to go home, Rupert never turned up. She had to see for herself that he really hadn't come.

Answer: Hughie

Henny was actually not all that fond of Hughie, but he was something of a stop-gap until she met the right man. Penny convinced Henny to go to a ball held by Penny's boyfriend Phillip's Batallion, during which she met Rupert. He was part of the same Batallion so felt obligated to attend.

They hit it off straight away, he took her for breakfast at a cafe then back to his father's apartment because she couldn't get a cab home. They fell in love the next day.

Answer: Perdita

She finds an e-mail from Perdita to Marcus and mis-reads it, thinking they were having an affair. Perdita is Marcus' riding instructor and the e-mail was actually about an upcoming fox hunt.

Answer: Henny's mother

Henny's mother and Andrew Ferguson had been seeing each other since her father went into a nursing home. He died of a heart attack before Henny found out about Andrew. All in all it was a night of revelations for Henny finding out about her mother and Rupert's father, then just as she is re-connecting with Rupert, Andrew tells her that he has a wife and two children in Ireland and one somewhere else. She also found out that both of his daughters are named Henrietta after her, such was his regret for leaving her at the altar.

Emmanuelle was Laurie's assistant before Henny and Pippa is an acquaintance of Henny's married to 'Timid' Timmy.

Answer: Yes

Henny goes back to the farm and after confronting Bill the gardener over re-arranging her knicker drawer (it was Benji but Bill was a bit of a lech, which led Henny to believe it was him), she slams the door which leads the glass to fall out. She leaves to look for Marcus at Perdita's, only to find that her affair was not with Marcus, but with 'Timid' Timmy, Pippa's downtrodden husband.

She goes back to the farm where she sees Marcus with the local constabulary thinking that there had been a break-in.

They send the policeman away, then have a heart-to-heart where she finds out that Marcus misses her and wants her to come home. She doesn't tell him about Rupert though she asks Benji if she should. He tells her not to as some things are best left unsaid.
