Heh heh! I apparently read too much Regency material -12/12.
That was fun, Anne. I shall try the other quizzes.
BTW – I enjoyed ‘The Last Chance Christmas Ball’ and the way the tales were linked to each other and through Jo Beverley’s intro. Did you read each other’s stories as they were written such that you would have read them all before writing yours? I acquired my copy at the Heyer conference.

Surprised myself. I had no idea what 8) was. With 9) I started doubting myself and consequently picked a wrong one.
Great alternative answers, by the way. Fun quiz to do!

Jan, I think any Heyer devotee would do well on this quiz — and there’s no such thing as reading too much Regency material! (heh heh) So glad you enjoyed it. I’m also delighted you enjoyed our Christmas anthology. I don’t think we all managed to read every story before submission — some of us squeaked in at the last gasp of the deadline. (blush) But we talked a lot about our stories and shared summaries. And those of us who had overlapping scenes or intersecting stories did a lot of private sharing back and forth to ensure they worked.

I had number 8 wrong. Guess that means I don’t read enough Regency (smile).
Anne, I want to thank you and all of the wenches for sharing your gifts with us through your lovely books. And thank you for this wonderful blog. I so enjoy reading it and the responses from the other readers.
I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.

Oh what fun…
I managed 8, or 8.5/12 as I answered in my head ‘debtor’s prison’ for #2. And well, one could go to prison for debt. So do I get partial marks? lol
I should have known the answer to #8, and I had no clue to #10. But it’s been awhile since I read a Regency with slang. I’ll have to rectify that in the new year.
Thanks for the fun quiz. Wishing everyone at WW a very Happy Christmas and wonderful 2017

12/12, but as Janga said, I’ve been reading Heyer and other Regencies since the 1980s, so I should be able to get most of them correct.
LOTS of fun.
I also wish to echo the seasons greetings offered above. Happy, winter solstice for most of us here, and equally happy solstice for those of us who live south of the equator!

I got 11/12. The first one threw me because I’ve recently heard it used in a different way that fit one of the wrong answers. I obviously need to live the past a little bit more.

Whew! 12/12. If I’d missed any, I’d be embarrassed, given that I grew up reading Heyer and write Regencies now. But what I found most interesting, Anne, is that you said come back and tell us how you “went.” I’m guessing that’s British for what I would have said: tell us how you “did.” Americanisms are more dangerous than slang for me.

Yay! 12/12! I love Regency slang and the stories that augment the language.
Like others who have posted, I started with Georgette Heyer. Scenes from her books still stay with me and come into my mind.
I remember the hilarious Freddy in “Cotillion.”
There is the more emotional “A Civil Contract.”
I wish she had written more Regencies.

Thanks for a great quiz, Annie.

There’s always the possibility that you might be getting better, Linda. *g* But they probably are getting easier — I’m trying to keep to fairly commonly used slang, and I probably used up the trickiest ones first. But well see. I’ll make more of an effort to make the next one harder. I didn’t do many quizzes this year because I wasn’t sure I could manage the link to my new website, but it all worked perfectly, so . . quizzes ahoy!

There’s always the possibility that you might be getting better, Linda. *g* But they probably are getting easier — I’m trying to keep to fairly commonly used slang, and I probably used up the trickiest ones first. But well see. I’ll make more of an effort to make the next one harder. I didn’t do many quizzes this year because I wasn’t sure I could manage the link to my new website, but it all worked perfectly, so . . quizzes ahoy!
Oh Anne, The Unknown Ajax is one of my faves. I haven’t heard Heyer in audio, except for a home-made version of The Talisman Ring by someone on the old Heyer loop — the audio tapes were posted from person to person. I was amazed by how much of the phrasing I remembered and could quote along with the narrator, because while I like The Talisman Ring, it’s not one I reread often.

Anne, you’re making the quiz too easy or our readers are just too good! Even I hesitated over “tenant for life,” though (my accounting mind wanted to kick in). Fun job!

Thanks, Suzanne — no, sorry but I think any extra half points should go to me for making up a tricky-but-plausible-sounding alternative. *g* Thanks for playing.

Sue, thanks so much for joining in the fun, and for so regularly joining in the conversations on the WordWenches. Happy Winter Solstice. It’s just starting to heat up here — Christmas Day will be in the high 90s, so any thought of a solstice never occurred to me until people started talking about it. All the best for the festive season and for 2017. The Wenches go short-and-punchy over what Jo Beverley called “Christmastide” — the 12 days of Christmas, so it’ll be a change of pace, but we’ll be posting every day for those days.

“But what I found most interesting, Anne, is that you said come back and tell us how you went. Im guessing thats British for what I would have said: tell us how you did.”
How interesting, Sally. I generally try to make a note of where British (and Australian) expressions differ from American, but that one never occurred to me. The one that grates on my ear most is “gotten.” It just never feels right to me, so when the copyeditor changes my “got” to “gotten” —which I understand because got grates on American ears— I usually try to change the whole sentence to avoid the word altogether. And sometimes I just close my eyes and leave it as gotten. Though non-American people do write to me about it. *g*
Thanks — interesting discussion.

Patricia, I adore Freddy — and he’s the reason I named my hero of The Winter Bride Freddy — not because he’s the same as Heyer’s Freddy, but as a small homage to Heyer’s lightweight beta-hero. The Civil Contract I have more trouble with — I so wanted her to be loved instead of fondly appreciated. Yes, it’s more realistic, but it’s also bittersweet. I want a *happy* ending.

Sorry you couldn’t get the answers to load, Christina. How annoying. I triple checked it, as it’s the first time I’ve put Quiz answers on my new website, which was professionally designed, and using WordPress, which I’d never used before.

And yes, quizzes like this bring out the Heyer addicts. *g* Thanks for playing.All the best for the festive season.

Thanks, Margaret. Yes, I don’t understand people when they say there’s too much cant in Heyer and they find it hard to understand. I think most of it is clear from the context and it adds to the atmosphere. Thanks for playing.

12 out of 12 too, the result of having started to read Heyer in my teens, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m in alt over it. That would be a really good addition to the quiz, however,

I guessed the one about the yard of tin, but ended up getting 12/12! An improvement from the previous quizzes. I did just finish reading a Heyer book(The Toll-Gate).

12/12. Would love to send this to the “Regency” author who tosses in bloomers and knickers every chance she gets and keeps calling a phaeton a “pantheon.” Thanks, Anne and fellow Wenches, for caring about the details. Heyer lives!

Well done, Karin. The Toll Gate is an interesting one, isnt it? I dont think a yard of tin is mentioned in that, though I could be wrong. Its in Arabella, and also another one, the title of which escapes me at the moment.

I took all three in one swoop – and got all correct. Must be the 50+ years of reading Heyer and all the Wenches that made it possible!

I got 11 of 12…and was surprised I messed up #7. When I went back and read it the question, I went oh yes..that is what happens when you answer the question too quickly!
But I totally enjoyed the quiz. Thanks!

Did the quiz out of curiosity and surprised myself by getting 6 out of 12. I reread P&P ritually, but I can’t say I read a lot of Regencies, or even romances for that matter, but I love the time period.
