Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who found old Mr. Frayne at the foot of driveway at Ten Acres?

Answer: Peter Belden

Peter Belden is Trixie's father. He is a banker in Sleepyside, and has at least two brothers- Andrew and Harold. Old Mr. Frayne was the Belden's neighbour, and he dies before the book ends.

2. What kind of snake bit Mrs. Frayne?

Answer: copperhead

Mrs. Frayne died from the copperhead's bite. Trixie's younger brother, Bobby, gets bitten on the toe by a copperhead, but he is saved by Trixie's cut and suck method (which is no longer recommended).

3. What kind of flowers grow around the stables at Manor House?

Answer: hollyhocks

The hollyhocks are pink and red. Regan is the groom that takes care of the horses and stable. He teaches Trixie to ride, and becomes a good friend to the Bob-Whites.

4. When Trixie and Honey first see him, what did Jim have close beside him as he slept on the mattress in his uncles's house?

Answer: shotgun

Jim is a 15 year old runaway. Both of his parents are dead, and he is fleeing from a cruel stepfather. Honey and Trixie argue over who gets to adopt him.

5. What did Bobby do to get Trixie's attention when he wanted to 'splore with her?

Answer: screamed

Bobby is Trixie's six year old brother. He is the baby of the family, and very spoiled. He never ages during the series, even though the other characters do.

6. What item of clothing did Miss Trask buy for Honey in White Plains?

Answer: dungarees

Honey has never had dungarees before. Before meeting Trixie, she wore dresses, skirts, and school and camp uniforms. She tears holes in her new pants while trying to ride a bike.

7. What item did NOT come on Honey's new bike?

Answer: streamers

The bike came with a big basket, a siren, a light, and a speedometer, but no streamers. Miss Trask ordered it for Honey from White Plains.

8. What did Trixie and Honey name the rowboat that they took out on the lake?

Answer: Water Witch

After christening the boat "Water Witch", they were able to row in the proper direction. Manor House boasts stables, a game preserve, a lake, and a boathouse.

9. How did Jim sign the note he leaves for Trixie in the summerhouse?

Answer: Yours, Jim

Jim is one of three redheads in Trixie's life; the other two are Matthew Wheeler (Honey's father) and Bill Regan, the groom.

10. Where was Jonesy's farm located?

Answer: outside Albany

Jonesy thinks Jim has died in the fire at Ten Acres. He later learns that Jim did not, and wreaks havoc in the lives of the Bob-Whites in "The Mystery of the Missing Heiress".
