Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was Jade's last name?

Answer: Butterfield

Jade's family was so eccentric that David constantly refers to their many quirks as being "Butterfieldian."

Answer: Communist Party

David's father, Arthur, still considered himself a "left wing" lawyer; he only worked with underprivileged clients and charged nominal fees.

3. Why was David banished from the Butterfield household?

Jade's parents had permitted David to all but live with Jade in their home. However, Jade began to suffer from a chronic lack of sleep, and David was asked to leave the family alone for thirty days.

4. In desperation, what did David do to try to rejoin Jade and her family?

Answer: He set fire to their home

David set fire to the Butterfield home, thinking he could appear to be a hero by warning the family of danger, in an attempt to get back in their good graces. Unfortunately the fire raged out of control, and destroyed the home.

5. Why were the Butterfields unable to react quickly to the danger of the fire?

Answer: They had all taken LSD

Ann's brother had sent the Butterfield some lab-quality LSD. The permissive Butterfields decided to take the acid together as a "family bonding" experience. As the fire spread throughout their home, the Butterfields were disoriented, and had a difficult time organizing an evacuation.

6. What sentence did David receive for his act of arson?

Answer: One year in a private mental institution

David was sent to Rockville, a private mental institution. David's grandfather paid the 25,000 dollar fee in order to prevent David from being sent to a harsher state institution.
