Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was the 'gold mine' that Dutch Pedro gave to James McGrath in the second chapter?

Answer: A packet of letters signed Virginia Revel

The memoirs of Count Stylptitch were given to James by Count Stylptitch himself and James doesn't say how he knows of the gold mine.
2. What was the name of the fictitious republic of which Prince Michael was next in line to the throne?

Answer: Herzoslovakia

3. What were the two aliases mentioned of Prince Michael?

Answer: Count Stanislaus and Mr. Holmes

Count Stylptitch was the Herzoslovakian nobleman who gave his memoirs to James McGrath. Baron Lolopretjzyl was another Herzoslovakian who represented the Loyalist Party of Herzoslovakia in London. Anthony Cade was the main character in the story. Prince Michael posed as Count Stanislaus at Chimneys and as Mr. Holmes when he picked up Count Sylptitch's memoirs from Anthony.
4. Why did Boris Anchoukoff serve Anthony Cade after Prince Michael was killed?

Answer: He recognised Anthony as Prince Nicholas Obolovitch

Anthony was worried that Boris recognising him would lead him to be arrested for the murder of Prince Michael.

6. What was the name of the secret society who were trying to steal Count Stylptitch's memoires from Anthony?

Answer: The Comrades of the Red Hand

The Comrades left a piece of paper with a red hand on it at all of their crime scenes.
7. What was the name of the waiter who tried to attack Anthony with a knife?

Answer: Giuseppe

Has anyone else noticed that as soon as there is a blackmailing waiter in Agatha Christie books, he is automatically Italian and called Giuseppe? For example, this book, "The Seven Dials Mystery", "the Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side", etc ...
8. What was arranged to stop Virginia Revel from coming to Chimneys for the weekend?

Answer: A dead body in her lounge

A false telegram is sent to the members of Virginia's household, purporting to be from her, telling her staff to go to Ranelagh for the weekend so that they would be out of the way when she found the body of Giuseppe in her lounge. Giuseppe had previously arrived on her doorstep with the letters signed 'Virginia Revel' and she had allowed him to blackmail her of £40.00, even though she hadn't written the letters and her husband was dead.
9. Where was the diamond found?

Answer: In the garden under the 'Richmond' rose bush

The memoirs revealed the hiding place in the secret passageway, in which was hidden the second clue of 'rose'. Anthony trapped Mademoiselle Brun and King Victor by stating that the diamond was behind the 'Life and Times of the Earl of Richmond', although he and Mr. Hiram Fish knew that it was in the garden.
10. Who married whom in the end?

Answer: Anthony and Virginia married

They then go to Herzoslovakia to take over the throne.
