Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This book was also published under the title 'There is a Tide'.

Answer: True

Agatha Christie got the title for this book from Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar'.

2. Who was Lynn Marchmont engaged to marry?

Answer: Rowley Cloade

Lynn and Rowley were in love and had just gotten engaged when the war broke out. Lynn left to join the WRENs and had returned after spending six years overseas. She now found Rowley, who had stayed back at Warmsley Vale, to be too dull.

3. How much money had Adela Marchmont borrowed from Rosaleen Cloade?

Answer: Five hundred pounds

Lynn desperately wanted to pay back the money as she hated the thought of taking money from David.

4. Who had paid Charles Trenton to blackmail Rosaleen and David?

Answer: Frances Cloade

Charles was Frances' cousin. Rowley realized that Charles was related to Frances and thought they were trying to double cross him. Hercule Poirot, too, immediately identified the family resemblance when he saw a picture of Frances with her father.

5. Rosaleen Cloade identified the body of Enoch Arden as that of her first husband, Robert Underhay.

Answer: False

Rosaleen claimed that she had never seen him before in her entire life. However, Major Porter declared at the inquest that the body was that of his friend, Robert Underhay.

6. Why did Jeremy Cloade require ten thousand pounds?

Answer: He had to replace the money he had embezzled from the trust funds.

Frances tried requesting Rosaleen to lend them the money but David refused. As a result, Frances was forced to cook up a scheme to get the money from Rosaleen by unfair means.

7. Where did Rosaleen live after marrying Robert Underhay?

Answer: Nigeria

She had met Robert Underhay in South Africa where she had gone as part of an acting troupe. After her separation from Robert, she moved to South America. She met Gordon Cloade on a ship voyage from South America to the United States and they had got married in New York.

8. How did Hercule Poirot classify the three deaths?

Answer: One accident, one suicide and one murder

He later proved that the death of Charles Trenton (Enoch Arden) had been an accident, Major Porter had committed suicide and Rosaleen Cloade had been murdered.

9. Who had murdered Rosaleen Cloade?

Answer: David Hunter

Rosaleen was poisoned by David Hunter. He had substituted morphia in one of the powders which Dr. Lionel Cloade had prescribed for her. He was afraid she would be driven to confession by her conscience and jeopardize his entire plan. Also, he had now fallen in love with Lynn Marchmont.

10. What was the real identity of Rosaleen Cloade?

Answer: Eileen Corrigan

The real Rosaleen Cloade had died in the Blitz along with her husband, Gordon Cloade. Eileen, one of the maids, and David were the only survivors. David came up with the idea of Eileen impersonating his dead sister in order to claim Gordon's estate.
