Quiz — The Scoundrel’s Daughter

Anne here, and for your entertainment, here's a quiz on a book you haven't yet readThe Scoundrel's Daughter, which comes out on August 24th. ScoundrelsDaughterMed
A few reviewers and most of the wenches have read it, but that's all. And since it's the start of a new series, you won't know any of the characters from earlier books. So it's not testing anything — you can only guess at the answers — it's just for fun. 

The intent is to give you a little taste of the book to come, something a bit different from an excerpt or a blurb. (Mary Jo is also interviewing me about the book on 25th August.

So here it is, a fun little quiz on a book you haven't read. Grab a pen and paper to make a note of your answers, then check them via the link at the bottom and come back and tell us how you went. I'll be giving a copy of The Scoundrel's Daughter to someone who leaves a comment.

1)  The "scoundrel" in the title is:—
        
a)  a blackmailer
        b)  a rake
        c)  a thief
        d) a swindler

2)  There are two couples in this story. The younger couple meet:—
        a)   at Almacks
        b)   during a curricle race  
        c)   at a costume ball
        d)   in the garden at Bellaire Gardens

3)  When the younger couple meet, Lucy, the scoundrel's daughter is carrying:—
        
a)   a wet kitten
        b)   a goose
        c)   a picnic basket
        d)   a large bunch of flowers

4)   When we first meet Alice (the main heroine in the book) she is :—            
        a)   cleaning silver
        b)   getting fitted for a new dress
        c)   riding a horse
        d)   gardening

5) Of medium height, he was closer to fifty than forty and dressed expensively, if not particularly tastefully, in tight trousers, a florid waistcoat, a frilled shirt and a snugly fitted bottle-green coat. A number of gaudy fobs dangled from his gold watch chain, and he wore several large, glittery rings. His thinning gray hair was elaborately tousled, and he reeked of pomade.

This describes:—
        a)  Alice's romantic hero
        b)  a bailiff (debt collector)
        c)  her late husband's heir
        d)  the scoundrel of the title 

6) A tall, grave-faced gentleman stepped into their path. Dressed in severe dark evening dress, the same as every other man in the room, there was, nevertheless, something about him. Perhaps it was his height or his broad shoulders, or maybe it was his unconscious air of command. Among the soft, pampered company, he stood out like an eagle among pigeons. Alice was aware of thick, dark hair cropped short; a bold, aristocratic nose, which looked as if it had been broken at least once; a firm chin and piercing gray eyes that bored into her.

This describes:        
        a)  Alice's romantic hero
        
b)  a bailiff (debt collector) 
        c)  her late husband's heir
        d)  the scoundrel of the title 

7)   The scoundrel wants Alice to:—        
        a)  pay the debts he claims her late husband owes him
        b)  help him steal a diamond necklace
        c)  get his daughter to marry a lord
        d)  accompany him to a society ball

8) Alice wanted to throw her husband's letters in the fire. She didn't because:—   
        a)  the fire had gone out
        b)  she was still sentimentally attached to them
        c)  she was too shocked to move
        d)  the scoundrel pulled a gun on her

9)  Alice becomes Lucy's godmother because:—        
        a) Alice is very religious
        b) Lucy had never been baptized
        c) baptism was necessary to legally change Lucy's name
        d) she needed a socially acceptable connection to Lucy

10)  Alice doesn't like going into society now that she's been widowed because:—    
        a)  she can't afford nice clothes any more
        b)  men keep propositioning her
        c)  she's very depressed
        d)  she misses her husband

11) James hasn't seen his three small daughters for more than four years. This is because:—        
        a) he's been away at war
        b) they've been at school
        c) they're being held prisoner by their maternal grandparents
        d) he's not very interested because they're only daughters. 

12)  When Alice and Lucy attend a masquerade ball, Alice dresses as Cleopatra. James surprises her by dressing:—         
        a)  as the devil
        b)  as the Greek god Zeus  
        c)  as St George (minus the dragon)    
        d)  as Mark Antony

13) Bonus question:  James's youngest daughter, Deborah, aged four, wants just one thing :—        
        a)  a cat
        b)  a cat
        c)  a cat
        d)  any of the above

Now you have noted down your guesses, click here and find out the answers. Then come back and tell us how you went. Did you have fun with this, or was it annoying to be quizzed on a book you can't yet have read? (Be honest, I won't mind.) I'll be giving a copy of The Scoundrel's Daughter to someone who leaves a comment.

  31. I had four right. It was a cool way to get a taste of the book. It was almost lie a “choose your own plot book.” I read the bit about Debo. Children can give great insights into the characters. I like how they often reveal a tender spot in the hero.

  46. Thanks, Pamela. It is a bit like the “choose your own adventure” and sometimes when I’m making up this kind of quiz I think — oh, that would have been good. But it’s too late! And yet I can’t seem to do it when Im writing a book. Glad you enjoyed the Debo snippet. I think you’ll enjoy the scene where James meets his three daughters.

  56. LOL Janet. The goose pops up later in the story too, though not in the flesh. Sharing books with others who have similar taste is a joy — but also a danger. I have so many holes in my bookshelves where I have pressed a book onto a friend to borrow. . . and it never comes back. That said, I have a number of childhood books that were given to my eldest sister, but ssshhh! Don’t tell.

  76. I confess, I cheated! I did not write down my proposed answers. I’m writing this at 3:10 a.m. in the morning and too lazy to get up from my sofa to find paper and pen. I enjoyed the quiz anyway. Of course, I spotted the Scoundrel and the romantic hero right away. Goose, better than the wet kitten I had envisioned. I had scoundrel down as a rake. Blackmailer? Interesting. I look forward to reading this. I could use a bit of romantic fluff right now with some humor thrown in. thanks

  91. Well, it is good that no one’s life is dependent on me being able to answer these questions. I got the cat one right. But, a cat is always a good answer.
    But, I don’t mind. I know just from the questions that I am going to love this story.
    Thanks for the fun.
    Hope everyone is well and happy and taking care.

    What a fun quiz. I just knew in my heart it would be a goose.
    The godmother twist is fun; makes a lot of sense in period.
    Did anyone ever do that I wonder?

  101. Anne, you said you wanted honesty: I didn’t like it! I read all the questions, made some guesses (I was pretty certain on #13!) but then didn’t read the answers because I hate knowing too much about a story before I read it. That said, the questions themselves probably made me even more eager than I’d normally be to read your new release. So I will get your book when it comes out, read it as soon as I can (why, oh why, do I keep checking books out from the library?), and then smile when I sort of, kind of, remember your questions. I can’t wait!

  126. Thanks, Robin. I highly identified with Debo — a friend has a gorgeous cat that “visits” every time we talk on faceChat — and every time I think “Awww, I want a cat.” But I’m allergic to cats, and the only ones I’ve ever had were rescue cats — kittens that I found abandoned, and so I had no choice. So unless my dog walks throw up an abandoned kitten . . . my sinuses are safe. As for the godmother thing, I don’t know.
