Answer: She contracted an odiously childish complaint, namely the measles

Answer: The Hon. Gilbert Ringwood

Though he's never heard there was any harm in the girl, Gil Ringwood declares to Ferdy and Duke Fakenham that he never liked 'the Incomparable' above half.

Answer: She, along with Mr. Milborne, had resolved on the union from infancy

Under the guise of motherhood concerns, Valeria Sheringham is quite mercenary.

Answer: Jason picked the viscount's pocket as he emerged from a jeweler's shop

Jason did come out of a foundling hospital and he did also keep Sherry's horses from bolting, which skills quickly earned Jason a spot on the Viscount's staff. This happened as the latter was soundly boxing Jason's ears after he picked Sherry's pocket outside of the jeweler's shop.

Answer: She sat on the floorboard of Sherry's curricle and kept herself hidden under a rug

Poor Hero's experience in life never made any account of her dignity and her comfort, so she curled up at the Viscount's feet and allowed him to cast the rug over her.

Answer: Fenton's Hotel

Limmers was disqualified on account that too many "Pets of the Fancy" frequented this establishment and it wouldn't be suitable for Hero to hobnob with them. Ellis was spurned because Sherry once dined there with his mother, while the staff of Grillon's think that Hero is on her way to Bath to school.

Answer: Sporting - often found at the royal cockpit or with gentleman Jackson at the Five-Court in Westminster

Ferdy would be qualified as the simple minded bon vivant, George is impetuous and Sherry is foolhardy but Gil is the sporting expert, as evidenced by the makeup of his bachelor abode where several riding whips hang on the wall amongst a collection of sporting prints and engravings, not to mention the pile of Weekly Dispatches and a copy of the Racing Calendar propped on his writing desk.

Answer: Gil

The canary was named after Gil who gave it to her once he saw how she fancied it upon an outing at the Bazaar.

Though it is true that the house would not be ready very soon to accommodate the newlyweds, it never factored into the reasons for the flight northward.

Answer: Mrs. Drummond-Burrell

Mrs. Burrell, one of the highest sticklers and an overly grand lady, even went so far as to suggest to her fellow-patroness Lady Jersey that no voucher of admission to that most exclusive club should be granted to young Lady Sheringham. Fortunately for Hero, she was overruled.

Answer: Ferdy's watch

Although he's promised Sherry to reform his ways, the presence of Ferdy's timepiece within his reach for days together was more than flesh and blood could stand, so he swiped it.

Answer: She does not wish for the family jewels until her mama-in-law was dead

Poor Hero did not earn my lady's approval with this little faux-pas.

Answer: Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, where they have a hunting box

Sherry traveled to see both Lady Sefton and Lady Fakenham. They were both hopeful that this affair would be the making of the viscount. Though he thought she might have gone to Ireland with Mrs. Hobby, he never thought she might have gone to Leicestershire.

Answer: Flyaway Nancy

Nancy, despite being discarded after his lordship's marriage, did him a great service by revealing Hero's attendance at one Mrs. Charlotte Gillingham's card party, a creature of Revesby.

Answer: If you wear these tonight, I shall know what to think

He wrestled with all of the above but he finally settled on the one to bring disastrous results. Miss Milborne felt that things were going way to fast, and thought that until she herself knew what to think, it would behoove his lordship to remain in his present uninformed state.

Answer: Queer thing the way females can see a likeness in a baby; his mother said the same thing when his sister Fairford's eldest son was born

Since babies "don't look like anything much", Ferdy is astounded that both his sister and mother would have it that his nephew was the image of poor Fairford.

Answer: Howard and Gibbs

A heavily veiled Hero paid a visit to the very successful firm of "philanthropists" Messrs. Howard & Gibbs, who showed an initial disinclination to accommodate her until she disclosed her identity; their manners underwent a most gratifying change.

Answer: A black prize fighter

Hero, an unconventional female such as Mr. Tarleton has never met before, has regaled the latter with all sorts of cant and sporting knowledge culled from Sherry's vocabulary including the existence of the next prize fighter champion, The Brixham Pet.

Answer: Jason, seeking to tell Hero how both he and the Viscount miss her and to entreat her to come home, has witnessed the abduction

Jason has skillfully obtained intelligence from Hero's maid Maria that her mistress would be walking the dog at a certain time. He took the opportunity to go ask Hero to return home, but walked in on the abduction instead.
