Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. On what day do the Witches agree to meet again at the beginning of the book?

Answer: Friday

Granny suggests Tuesday, but Nanny is babysitting for Jason's youngest and can manage Friday.

2. What play of Hwels are Tomjohn's first words from?

Answer: The Tyrant

His first words are the Worm speech from 'The Tyrant', his second speech is Young Willikins' from 'Please Yourself'.

3. Which of these is not an ingredient in the Witches' summoning potion for Tomjohn?

Answer: snakes' tears

All the rest go into the pot, although Granny thinks the baboon hair looks suspiciously like cat hair.

4. Another summoning, this time of a demon. What is not used?

Answer: soap suds of retribution

They actually scatter rather old washing soda and some extremely hard soap flakes in the demon's honour.

5. From which play is the speech Tomjohn recites in 'The Mended Drum'?

Answer: The King of Ankh

Give yourself a pat on the back if you spotted that 'A Wizard of Sorts' is another name for 'Please Yourself'.

6. What does Nanny Ogg spy with her little eye in the dungeons?

Answer: pinchers

Despite (or perhaps because of) not knowing the names of anything, Nanny managed to beat the ghost of King Verence at eye spy five to nothing.

7. Which of these is not a constant right of the peasants of Lancre?

Answer: acornage

They only get acornage every other year.

8. How many ghosts end up in Nanny Oggs' house (not counting the king or anyone without a head)?

Answer: 5

A woman in a chariot in the washhouse, two kiddies in the pantry, someone screaming under the sink and a lost caveman.

9. Which of these terms does the Duke tolerate from the Fool?

Answer: Prithee

As the Duke is already very married, and is sure he is not the Fool's nuncle, he will accept only 'prithee' as a humourous term.

10. What does Nanny not scrounge from the Players on the way to Lancre?

Answer: mustard

She wants mustard for the salt pork, but no-one has any.
