Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Roderico tore at the thinly rolled sheet of metal that was blocking the window's light. He needed to frustrate and baffle the evil Fernando but instead he had been bested at every turn. Now he could see a shadow on the other side of the glass. He reached for his weapon and cursed softly when his hand grasped the light blunt edged sword he used for fencing practice. He did not have his trusty blade at his side! The shadow moved - Fernando lunged towards Roderico with a blood curdling scream!
2. The baby goat stood at the back of the enclosure shaking with fear. The young child huddled beside him and watched. He wished desperately that he had not tricked his mother into believing he would be safe here all by himself at night. Stupid! He caught the glow reflecting off a pair of eyes - then another. The wolves were circling and the fence would not hold. A chilling howl cut through the night air!
3. There was no doubt. This was the worst situation Terence had ever found himself in. They were both in extreme danger and the outlaws' leader seemed to have no regard for human life. Amelia was tied roughly to a tree. He would fix the image of her terrified eyes indelibly in his memory forever. The guard watching him kicked at him and cursed that he should get back to work. Terence resumed digging the trench that would receive the crude pine coffin leaning against the rocky outcrop. Only one question remained. Would it hold his body or Amelia's?
4. The ashes in the recess of the fireplace were still warm. "They can't have been gone too long". Jeremy exhaled and propped himself against the mantle. Every muscle in his body shook. They had taken Olivia! His sword scraped harshly against the brickwork as he swung around. There was the sound again. It was an awful, irritating noise that would assault his senses and irritate him forever more. There was a loud crash and he hurled himself at the door. The sound had been the groaning creak of rusted hinges. He wrenched the door knob but it was locked. He was a prisoner on these wild moors. What would become of his beloved Olivia?
5. The strong rhythm of the music pulsated the length of the filthy alley as Keith lay face down in the puddle. The plan had been to grab the drugs and flee before the police returned on their usual round. The best laid plans! He had been dragged from view. Blows rained down on him. They would pound him senseless and no-one knew he was here.
6. The broad inlet of the sea glistened azure blue in the sunlight. It was of no importance that he had won - that Helen had placed the deep green laurel wreath on his head. A suspected traitor would not be allowed to live even if he had just won the marathon. The guards bore down on him. His large dog began to bark loudly and plaintively in the distance. It would be of no matter that he was innocent. There would be no escape.
7. Henry bent to slide back the bar that was fastening the huge door. It opened slowly revealing an old storage room. A large roll of fabric blocked his path and he pushed it roughly aside. He could see Nell's slight figure silhouetted in the moonlight streaming through the window. She slumped, bound and gagged in a wooden chair. The window opened onto the courtyard. He could untie her and drop down quietly to his horse waiting below. The weight of two people might unsettle Silver Lady. He prayed the mare would not suddenly gallop out of control.
8. Gaston stood on the deck and looked to the left side of his sailing vessel. He could see the harbour from here and above the small town he could make out the whitewashed walls and red tiled roof of Valencia's small house. Tonight she would be his. If her father would not let them marry, they would elope. He raised the jug of strong, dark red wine to his lips and smiled. How he loved her. He was so lost in thought he did not notice the dark shadowy figure creeping towards him.
9. Archibald clung desperately to the heavy vertical beam supporting the wooden bridge. The current was strong and he didn't have much time. He hauled himself quietly onto the edge of the structure and then he saw it. A small heap of clothing and other belongings pushed roughly beneath a thorn bush. He quickly gathered the items and sat to examine them. He cradled the plush velvet surface of the blue cape to his cheek. It was Jacinta's. They had taken her to the castle! He grabbed the cape and plunged into the darkness toward the grim stone walls.
10. Captain Fordosa spread the map over the small wooden table and frowned. All his crew sat waiting quietly as he calculated the direction, checking a position on the compass. He placed a small dot on the map and turned it around for all to see. This was important. If they were not swift and sure Carmella would die at dawn. He indicated the path with his finger. Quietly they nodded. Weapons were shouldered and the men headed out into the pitch black night.
