Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Edward Henderson, the father of Olivia and Victoria, was a wealthy industrialist. In what industry was he involved?

Answer: Steel

5. Why was Victoria picked up by the police in New York?

Answer: She had taken part in an unauthorized demonstration.

6. Where was the Henderson house in New York City located?

Answer: On Fifth Avenue

The Hendersons did not visit their New York City home very often. When they did, Olivia organized everything because Victoria had no talent in this area. Victoria was more interested in her suffragist and political causes.

9. Olivia was approached by a woman in the ladies' room during a ball at the Astor's home. The woman mistook Olivia for her sister Victoria. Who was this woman?

Answer: She was the wife of the man with whom Victoria was flirting at the ball.

The woman, Evangeline, vented her anger on Olivia, not realizing that she was speaking to Olivia and not to Victoria. She told Olivia that the man had no serious interest in her and that she was only the latest in the series of his conquests. Olivia did nothing to clear up the mistake.

10. Olivia and Victoria were mirror images of each other. Which of these features could allow someone to distinguish between them?

Answer: Olivia had a freckle on her right hand; Victoria's freckle was on her left hand.

The sisters were so alike that not even their father could tell them apart. Bertie and later Geoff, Charles Dawson's son, were the only people other than the twins who knew of the existence of the freckles.

11. One of the men with whom Victoria had had an intimate relationship was aptly described by Olivia as "a disgusting worm." Who was he?

Answer: Tobias Whitticomb

Tobias Whitticomb was a philanderer and completely without scruples. He took advantage of Victoria's innocence and inexperience, casting her off when it suited him.

It was intended that Charles would take over as Edward Henderson's chief lawyer when John Watson retired.

Answer: The Astors

16. Switching identities was a game the sisters played as children for their own amusement. After her marriage, why did Victoria persuade Olivia to switch places with her one last time?

Answer: So that Victoria could go overseas to take part in the war effort.

The switch also managed to free Victoria from a loveless marriage and allowed Olivia to obtain her heart's desire. Neither of the sisters ever planned to go to California and Olivia was the one who had always taken care of her father.

17. Charles and Olivia named one of their twin daughters Elizabeth. Whose name was she given?

Answer: Olivia's mother

Olivia's mother, who was her father Edward's second wife, was called Elizabeth. Coincidentally, Victoria's middle name was also Elizabeth.

18. How did Charles react when he first learned how he had been deceived by the sisters?

Answer: He was enraged and accused them both of being immoral and obscene.

19. When for the first time did Charles and Olivia declare their love for each other?

Answer: On the night Olivia learned that Victoria had not perished at sea.
