      Charles Dickens. This was the final novel of Charles Dickens' career, as he died before finishing "The Mystery Of Edwin Drood".

    In every show, whether voted the murderer or not, who confesses to the murder of Edwin Drood?The Mystery of Edwin Drood

      No. The song "The Writing On The Wall" is the last number of the show and has the story of how Drood went missing told by the character himself. I hope you enjoyed my quiz!

    What does Sir John claim killed his aunt?"Me & My Girl": The Wisdom of Sir John Tremaine

      Tea. He's explaining why he refuses to drink tea (see information for the next question). He'd much sooner stick to brandy, and is very often seen a bit... um... "squiffy", as he calls it.

    What does Sir John reveal to be the actual cause of his aunt's death?"Me & My Girl": The Wisdom of Sir John Tremaine

      a steamroller. In a fantastic scene where both he and Bill are drunk, Parchester, the solicitor, tries to give him tea. Sir John responds with: "What are you trying to do to me?! I had an aunt once who drank tea all her life, dead before she saw fifty! Mind you, the steamroller didn't help matters."

    According to Sir John what are the Duchess' poodles taking an unhealthy interest in?"Me & My Girl": The Wisdom of Sir John Tremaine

      his ankles. This is part of his first line in the play.

    Complete this quote. When Bill is first being introduced to the family, he is asked what he lives on, to which he replies "My wits." Sir John answers: "You must be __________?""Me & My Girl": The Wisdom of Sir John Tremaine

      severely undernourished. Sir John really does not like Bill at first, but starts to feel sorry for him and Sally once the Duchess begins to interfere.

    When Sir John is trying to prevent the Duchess from interfering in Bill and Sally's lives, he starts to protest with the line: "Maria, it has crossed my mind..." What does the Duchess say to interrupt him?"Me & My Girl": The Wisdom of Sir John Tremaine

      Not a long journey. Sorry if those options weren't very good, I got stuck for alternatives, although she does actually say "Do be quiet, you futile man" a few moments before this quote. The Duchess and Sir John are always bickering with each other, but you can tell they really love each other.
