Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where and in what year does Claire's story begin (in the British edition of the book)?

Answer: Inverness, 1946

Claire and Frank are visiting Inverness after reuniting after the war. They thought it would be romantic to revisit the place they went on their honeymoon.

In the American edition, the year was changed to 1945.

2. What was the name of the man who was killed during the hunt at the Gathering?

Answer: Geordie

During the boar hunt, Geordie was charged by the pig and critically wounded. He died in the field.

3. What was the name of the town at which Claire met Captain Randall for the second time?

Answer: Brockton

Claire had accompanied Dougal on his trip through the Highlands, where he was collecting tenants' rents. He brought Claire along in order to take her to Randall, in hopes of discovering who she was and who she was working for.

4. What is the meaning of the name Cobhar?

Answer: Foam

Cobhar is the horse which Jamie gave young Hamish to ride after he attempted to sneak in and ride Donas.

5. What was the name of the horse with which Claire helped deliver a foal?

Answer: Losgann

Claire was asked to assist because she had small hands. She was able to help by turning the foal the right way. It was for this service that Callum gave her the jet rosary, which later on assisted in saving Claire's life during the witch trial.

6. What is Claire's birthday?

Answer: 20th October 1918

Claire tells Jamie that her birthday is on the 20th of October, 1918, after he asks if she is a witch. She tells him her whole story, and reveals the fact that she really hasn't been born yet.

7. Where Jamie describes the Frasers as stubborn, the MacKenzies as charming but sly, what are the Campbells?

Answer: Deceitful

Jamie tells these character traits to Claire after he has first taken her to Lallybroch.

8. In which year did Geilie disappear into the past in the British edition of the book?

Answer: 1967

Claire does not realise Geilie is from her time until she sees the smallpox scar on Geilie's arm during the witch trial; she sees it too late for her to be able to converse with Geilie about it. However, Claire later receives a message from Geilie through Dougal.

The first part of the message was "I'm not sure but I think it can be done." The second part was four separate numbers - 1, 9, 6, 7 - which Claire knows that when put together make up the year of Geilie's disappearance from the future.

9. While at the abbey, to whom does Claire confess?

Answer: Brother Anselm

She confessed to Brother Anselm and then asked what she had done and what she should do. Lengthy conversations followed as Anselm tried to help her with her questions.

10. What was Anselm's advice to Claire : "When in doubt,...".

Answer: Eat

Anselm gave Claire this advice after her confession, when he was trying to answer her questions. This conversation started at the trout pool, but moved into the kitchen, where they were given food. Anselm repeatedly offered Clair some of the pastries, which she always refused, until finally at the end of the conversation he gave her this advice.
