Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. From where is Father Tim returning at the beginning of this book?

Answer: Sligo, Ireland

He spent two months on vacation digging up family history in Sligo with his brother Walter and Walter's wife Katherine.

2. Who wrote to Father Tim in Ireland telling him how much Dooley had changed over the summer?

Answer: Marge Owen

Although Hal and Marge took care of him while Father Tim was on vacation, Marge was the one who wrote to Father Tim before he left Ireland to brag on Dooley.

3. Finish this quote from Cynthia: "They say walls have ears, so I should ________ ".

Answer: whisper

She is talking about what it is she wants to do with Father Tim as a way of celebrating his return fron Ireland.

4. Who is the job superintendent of the construction of Hope House?

Answer: Buck Leeper

Although not the most savory character, he comes around later in the book, and then even more in the third book, "These High Green Hills".

5. Where does Cynthia Coppersmith move to (temporarily) to finish work on her latest book?

Answer: New York City

She doesn't initially tell Father Tim she's going, and he is panicked to simply find the moving truck at her house one day and Cynthia gone. But don't worry...it all works out happily!

6. What is the thing that Cynthia does twice in this book that she says she's never done before in her life? (this shocks her)

Answer: rudely hang up on someone

She hangs up first on Father Tim, then later on Edith Mallory. Love certainly does some strange things to a person...

7. Dooley is severely injured by a fall from a rolling pile of lumber and is in a coma for several days.

Answer: False

It was actually his best friend Tommy who fell. It had been Dooley's idea to climb the pile of lumber even though they had both been told not to play on the site at Hope House. He felt very bad afterward.

8. When Dooley and Father Tim get into the car after leaving the hospital the first time, Dooley says, "I puked". What is Father Tim's response?

Answer: Good.

Father Tim is very angry at Dooley, but more so at himself, since he was supposed to talk to Dooley about staying away from the site himself.

9. What are the two gems on the brooch that Father Tim gives to Cynthia?

Answer: pearl and amethyst

Father Tim originally gave the brooch to his mother for her last Christmas before she died, then took it and put it in the bank lock box for safe keeping before he gave it to Cynthia.

10. What is the name of the "cousin" who comes to stay with Father Tim?

Answer: Meg Patrick

A strange woman with fiery red hair, green eyes, and a habit of mooching and lying!

11. How long does Father Tim's "cousin" stay with him before he forces her to leave?

Answer: 2 months

After he makes her leave he calls Riley Kavanagh, whom she stayed with in Massachusetts. It turns out that she has never even been to Ireland and has someone over there in Sligo who mails letters to people who have visited Ireland recently from "across the pond" to learn about their family history. She's a fraud!

12. Father Tim gives his "cousin" two choices on where he will take her to get out of Mitford. What are those two choices?

Answer: Greyhound Station or Airport

He gives her the two choices, tells her to put his books in a neat stack, clean up, and then he will take her to the place of her choice.

13. What month does Tim turn to on his calendar and immediately dread?

Answer: June

Father Tim has so many commitments in the month of June that he can scarcely see straight!

14. Name the two women who get married in June:

Answer: Puny Bradshaw and Olivia Davenport

Puny married Jojo Guthrie, mayor Esther Cunningham's grandson, and Olivia Davenport married the local doctor, Hoppy Harper. Such happy stories!

15. This question covers something a bit in between this book and the next one, because it is left to your imagination: When do Cynthia and Father Tim get married?

Answer: September 7th

It is a bit vague, but I DO know that it says somewhere that they were married on the seventh of September. It is initially announced in the church bulletin. I hope you enjoyed this quiz!
