4. Which of these men was NOT one of Scarlett's beaux?

Answer: Alex Fontaine

Answer: The University of Georgia

(Hardcover Edition, pgs. 4-5)
8. Which Tarleton brother was NOT killed at Gettysburg?

Though all four of the Tarletons died in the war, Tom, Stuart and Brent were the three brothers who died at Gettysburg. Boyd was "dead the first year of the war, was buried God knew where in Virginia."

10. What was Miss Pittypat's real name?

Answer: Sarah Jane

'Aunt Pittypat had been christened Sarah Jane Hamilton sixty years before, but since the long-past day when her doting father had fastened this nickname upon her, because of her airy, restless, pattering little feet, no one had called her anything else.' (Hardcover Edition, p. 122)

12. Who brought Rhett Butler to Twelve Oaks as a guest?

15. What was the FIRST song the orchestra played at the Atlanta bazaar?

Answer: 'Lorena'

Although all four of these songs were played at the bazaar, 'Lorena' was the first. (Hardcover Edition, p. 131-132)
16. What did Scarlett suggest that Rhett do with his 'Confederate gold'?

Answer: Distribute it to the needy

As unlikely as it sounds, Scarlett did indeed suggest that Rhett distribute the Confederate money to the needy. However, she didn't sound very convincing about it! (Hardcover Edition, p. 498)
17. When Scarlett told Rhett that she was pregnant (with Bonnie), whom did Rhett threaten to kill?

19. What church did Rhett attend with Wade?

Answer: Episcopal

Although Wade was (reputed to be) Catholic, Rhett brought him to the Episcopal Church during his campaign to rectify himself to the Old Guard for Bonnie's sake. (Hardcover Edition, p. 725-726)
20. Why was Bonnie afraid of the dark?

Answer: Because Mammy told her there were ghosts in the dark

Bonnie complained of nightmares; Rhett chalked it up to her imagination; and Lou let the lamp burn out - but all of these things happened AFTER Bonnie became afraid of the dark. After Bonnie's death, Mammy confessed to Rhett and Melanie that she had deliberately scared the child with ghost stories because Bonnie was always getting out of bed at night and running around the house barefoot.(Hardcover Edition, p. 799)
