Julia Quinn's "The Viscount Who Loved Me" Quiz

Answer: bee sting

At the time of his death, Violet, Edmund's wife, was eight months pregnant with their eighth child.

Answer: False

Edmund died at the young age of thirty-eight, leaving his family reeling in shock and grief. How had such a strong, heathy man die of little more than a common bee sting?

Answer: an olive

When Anthony had made this surprise announcement, Benedict, who had been leaning back in his chair, fell over. Luckly, Benedict righted himself in enough time to smack Colin on the back, sending the olive sailing across the room, and narrowly missing Anthony's ear.

Answer: thicker boots

Anthony had decided he wanted to marry Kate's sister, and Kate, of course, objected. Anthony claimed that he saw Kate as a challenge and there was nothing a man, like himself, appreciated more than a challenge.

Answer: flute

Kate had taken up the flute after her father had passed away, and even though she was positively dreadful at it, she continued playing because she enjoyed it.

Answer: Corgi

Anthony had been expecting a Mastiff and had been surprised when 'the most benign-looking Corgi he'd ever seen,' trotted into the room.

Answer: False

Actually, Kate retaliated by pointing at Anthony and telling Newton to shake. Although Newton soaked Anthony, he also sprayed water on Kate and Nigel Berbrooke, but Kate felt the sacrifice had been entirely worth it.

Answer: Daphne

After whispering this to Kate, Daphne's husband, Simon, stepped out from behind a tree and replied, "I've learned a thing or two about women over the years. They're much easier to manage if one allows them to believe that they are smarter and more intuitive than men. And our lives are much more peaceful if we pretend that we're only aware of about fifty percent of what they do."

Answer: red mallet

A couple of years before, the Bridgerton's had been playing a rousing game of Pall Mall, when Anthony sunk Daphne's red wooden ball in the middle of the lake.

Answer: black

The black mallet was given the title 'the mallet of death' by Anthony, who always chose to play with that mallet.

Answer: Kate

Kate was declared the winner when, in retaliation to an earlier move he'd made on her, Kate sent Anthony's ball into the lake.

Answer: Lady Whistledown

Lady Whistledown, the mysterious author of 'Lady Whistledown's Society Papers,' writes this in one of her columns. Although she claims that she was uninvited to the Bridgerton house party, that particular statement, along with various others, seems suspicious.

Answer: the Duke of Ashbourne; "Splendid"

The Duke of Ashbourne is the hero of Julia Quinn's very first novel, "Splendid." I love that she mentions a lot of former characters of previous novels.

Answer: thunderstorms

Kate couldn't remember when her fear of thunderstorms first started, but she later finds out from Mary, that Kate's mother had died during a thunderstorm with Kate in the room, which explained Kate's fear of such storms.

Answer: he could love her

Anthony was convinced that he would not out live his father, so he didn't want to cause pain for himself or his wife by there being love in his marriage. He felt that Kate was dangerous because he could fall in love with her.

Answer: Lady Danbury

Lady Danbury was well-known among the ton as an elderly woman who spoke her mind, whether you wanted to hear her opinion or not. Much of the ton dreaded being caught in conversation with her. She tended to make everyone nervous.

Answer: three

Anthony had fussed over Kate so much, and second-guessed every move the three surgeons made, that one of them had gotten annoyed enough to ask him where he'd received his license from the Royal College of Physicians. Anthony had not been amused by that comment.

Answer: 39

Anthony's 39th birthday had been a milestone for him, because for so much of his life he'd believed he'd die before his father. Turning 39 meant that Anthony had outlived his father.

Answer: trumpet

Anthony and Kate had put on a performance in celabration of Anthony's birthday but stopped when their younger son Miles begged them to cease playing.

Answer: Colin

Kate commented that Lady Whistledown's latest column was about Colin, and Anthony stated that she seemed to write about him a great deal. Kate then suggested that perhaps Lady Whistledown had a 'tendre' for Colin.
