Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. At the beginning of the story, Ella says that she was covered with comforters and had a lot of warming pans, but can you rememember how many?

Answer: 6

Ella is worried about going to start the fire again, because the last time she had done that, she got into trouble, and the maid who was supposed to be working it was fired. So, she just lay hoping that they would remember her soon.

2. According to the lessons with Lord Reston, which king was known as the bridges king?

Answer: Charming the ninth

Ella believed for a long time that the lesson she had with Lord Reston was Royal Genealogy. However, when Jed took over, he informed her that it was actually Religion she was supposed to be being taught.

3. According to Madam Bisset, what are women supposed to be like?

Answer: flowers

Also according to Madam Bisset, women are to be protected from anything disturbing, for their brows should not furrow with worry. Women should be beautiful, like a decoration, and never have to do anything trying or hard. Ella can think of a few ladies she grew up with who would have a thing or two to say about that.

4. What is the name of the servent child who befriends Ella?

Answer: Mary

Mary is the girl who Ella tells to get help for Lord Reston, and when she hears that Ella had asked how he was doing, she goes to see her, and that is when their friendship started.

5. True or False: Madam Bisset allowed Ella riding lessons.

Answer: false

Of course not, it's not proper for a lady! *Faint*

6. What did Ella's father sell?

Answer: books

Ella believes that this is how Lucille tricked her father into marrying her, by pretending she loved books too. However, once they were married, she looked at books with disdain, and hurt Ella's father badly.

7. How many brothers does Jed have?

Answer: 3

Jed has three brothers, but as he's the eldest, he's supposed to take over when his father dies.

8. At the start of chapter 17, what time does the clock strike?

Answer: 8:00

This is the chapter in which Ella tells Prince Charming that she doesn't want to marry him.

9. What did the prince use to tie up Ella?

Answer: a strip of her petticoat

This is after she tells the prince she doesn't want to marry him; they fight, and he rips off her petticoat, giving him an idea - probably the first ever in his life. He ties her up, then Ella gets taken down into the dungeon.

10. What does Jed tell Mrs. Smeal to count when he wants to talk to Ella alone?

Answer: blankets

When Ella escapes from the dungeon, she goes and finds the refugee camp that Jed founded, and when she gets there, Jed asks this of Mrs. Smeal so that he and Ella could be alone together. After she tells her story, he proposes to her, but she says she'd like to wait and think about it.

Then Jed has to go back to castle because his father dies, but at the end of the book he writes to her that he would be coming back soon, and who knows what will happen after that? I hope you enjoyed this quiz!
