Johanna Lindsey's "Gentle Rogue" Quiz

Answer: Maiden Anne

James sailed the Maiden Anne for over ten years: first as a gentleman pirate and then later as a planter taking his crops to market in the West Indies. The Triton belongs to Drew, one of Georgie's brothers, and the Amphitrite belongs to Georgie herself.

Answer: Skylark Line

Skylark ships travel to ports all over the world. The only two ports they avoid are England (which is no longer an option, now that Georgie lives there!) and China, due to a dispute over a Ming vase. (You'll learn more about that incident in Amy Malory's story, "The Magic of You.")

Answer: Serve the crew their meals.

James made up most of these duties; partly to keep her busy and away from the rest of the crew, but mostly to keep her in his company.

Answer: Jamaica

James was headed back to Jamaica to sell his property so he could return to England for good. Georgie was headed there because it was almost a sure thing that a Skylark ship would be in port: her ride home to America.

Answer: His aftershave

It wasn't the soap, because she used that herself. Innocent Georgina had no idea that what she was feeling was her attraction to the captain.

Answer: A ring from her father.

Georgie didn't mean to leave Jamaica so abruptly; without her belongings and without saying good-bye to James. Her brother's ship was in the berth next to the Maiden Anne and she went to visit her brother, not knowing the ship was already casting off for America.

Answer: 5

She has five brothers. Clinton is the oldest, a widower with two children who live with their grandparents. Next is Warren, a bitter man still getting over a woman's betrayal. Don't worry; he recovers in "The Magic of You." The middle brother, Thomas, is the patient, even-tempered one.

It's often up to him to keep Warren's temper in check, especially when the second youngest brother, Drew, is around. A carefree fellow who sees the humor in every situation, Drew loves to prick Warren's temper just to see what happens.

The youngest brother is Boyd, who's a mix of Drew's charm and Warren's short fuse.

Answer: Hawke

Boyd and Thomas had run-ins with James in his pirating days, when he was known only as Captain Hawke. He stole their cargo and damaged their ships. In Boyd's case, it was on his first journey as the owner of his ship, the Oceanus.

Answer: True

After James baldly stated they shared a cabin and not-so-subtly hinted at a more intimate relationship, Georgie tried to explain that she just worked as his cabin boy. Any headway she may have made was ruined by her temper when she told James off, forgetting her brothers were in the room. After her tirade, it was plain to see how well they knew each other.

Answer: Drew and Boyd

After some persuasion from Georgie, the youngest two Anderson brothers decided to help her out. Boyd was convinced by her argument that James was his new brother-in-law. Though Drew agreed, his main reason for agreeing was to annoy Warren.

Answer: "A conceited peacock."

This was after the first argument they had on the voyage, which was the first time they even talked to each other after they left America. The argument ended when Georgie let him know she was pregnant and stormed out of the cabin, causing her to miss the delight James showed at the news.

Answer: Jeremy

Jeremy Malory is seventeen years old and was discovered by James about five years ago; he didn't know he'd had a son. It was because of him that James gave up pirating. Jeremy has black hair and blue eyes, which is rumored to be from a Gypsy grandmother. Most of the Malory clan are blond-haired and green eyed.

Other members of the family who share the so-called Gypsy blood are Anthony (James' brother, whose story is "Tender Rebel"), Regina (James' niece, whose story is "Love Only Once") and Amy (another of James' nieces, whose story is "The Magic of You", with Georgie's brother, Warren).

Answer: Nicholas

Nicholas is married to Regina, James' niece. Not only that, but he is an old adversary of Captain Hawke. He actually bested James on the high seas, causing a rift between the two. They can't be in each other's company for more than two minutes without starting an argument.

Answer: George Amherst

The three young friends (Percy and cousins Derek and Jeremy) were out on the town. Georgie accidentally ran into Derek, who started flirting with her. Fortunately for everyone involved, Jeremy recognized Georgie's voice before any harm was done and the young men took "Aunt George" back home to Uncle James. George Amherst is a friend of Anthony Malory.

Answer: Nereus

In the end, Georgie's brothers (with the exception of Warren) hatched a plan to convince James that he couldn't keep them from their sister. They "kidnapped" her and took her aboard Warren's ship, the Nereus, to make James come and get her. Warren, having every intention of bringing his sister home to Connecticut, had his crew watching for James to keep him off the ship.

Despite that precaution, James got onboard and was fighting his way to Georgie, since Warren had his crew attacking him. He was punching someone as he bellowed across the deck to Georgie that he loved her.

After convincing Warren she was in love and happy, Georgie was carried her off the ship by James, who ungraciously invited the Anderson brothers to dinner after some serious prodding from Georgie.
