Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. As I finished Mrs. Jones' pin curls, the undertaker ambled through my door wiping his hands on his blood spattered apron. He looked like a vampire trying to remember the right word for the guy on his slab, "bloody cough, sweaty, got skinny, dead." "Consumption?" I volunteer. Yes, but you'd possibly know it as what?
2. I put the perfect curl on Mr. White's pencil mustache only to have him sneeze in my face. Right then, the undertaker appeared and felt Mr. White's forehead, recommending he get some rest to avoid ending up like the body in his office who had complained of fever, fatigue and body aches. I immediately said "la grippe," and right I was! You'd possibly know it as what?
3. Rough morning after my customer vomited in my chair. Thinking it couldn't get worse, the undertaker came in, looked at the mess and said things had gone far worse in the end for the lady on his slab who suffered with fever, cramps, vomit and bloody diarrhea. "Not the bloody flux again," I said and he could only nod. You'd possibly know it as what these days?
4. Mrs. Smith couldn't fit into my chair to have her rotten tooth pulled. The poor lady was so swollen! The undertaker waiting for a shave didn't make her feel much better as he described his client's similar condition...generally swollen, difficulty breathing, buildup of fluid in the lungs, dead. Must be "dropsy" I suggested which you'd possibly know it as what?
5. Sadly tying hand-crafted hair bows for a little girl dressed all in black. The undertaker appeared to give his condolences to the family. In the morgue, the girl's brother was being prepared for burial having died while suffering fever, muscle loss, weakness and "infantile paralysis," I said aloud finishing his thoughts. You'd possibly know it as what these days?
6. I was sculpting Miss Jane's hair into the latest Gibson girl style when the undertaker arrived. He regarded my client with a wink and exploded into describing the symptoms of his new cold client ... raving mad, hair loss, nearly blind, gangrene and open sores all over. I recoiled and whispered, "the French pox!" You'd possibly know it as what?
7. My next client wanted a simple page boy leaving me feeling dang right medieval. Just as I finished, the undertaker appeared, looking drawn and pale as his latest body had exhibited signs of weakness, fever, pus-filled swollen lymph nodes all over and even gangrene. Maybe the "black death" that you might know as what?
8. I put the final touches on an asymmetric updo, with all the crimp and curl when the undertaker appeared. He'd just seen a poor old lady who died with severe headache, slurred speech as half her face sagged, unconsciousness and death. I shook my head and murmured "apoplexy" and he agreed. You'd possibly know it as what these days?
9. I was examining the foot of a teenage girl with an ingrown toenail who was prattling on about everything from boys to Brits. The undertaker walked in with quite the opposite problem as his new arrival died from suffocation and spasms, unable to open his mouth to eat or drink. Probably "lockjaw," I said and you'd possibly know it as what?
10. The excitement of a new baby flowed from a new father chatting about the child through the suds on his face. The undertaker appeared and dampened the mood, his recent client, also a new parent, had perished from lack of energy, even the energy to eat, emotionally wasting away in her despair. I sadly said "melancholia," as the undertaker concurred. You'd possibly know it as what?
