Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In "Desire", what are the 'wedding gifts' of Prioress Margaret, Eunice and Beatrice to Lady Clare upon her marriage to Sir Gareth of Wyckmere?

Answer: vials of chicken blood

Thinking that Lady Clare had engaged in an affair with a scholar years earlier, the three women, who were her good friends, sought to protect her honor and keep her safe from her new and reputably dangerous husband. Since virginity was such a matter of importance in those days, they gave Lady Clare vials of chicken blood to pour on her sheet during her wedding night so as to give the impression that she was a virgin to her husband (which in truth she really was).

As it happens, on her wedding night, Lady Clare drugs her husband before they go to bed then pours the chicken blood on the sheets afterwards (and everything would have gone smoothly if she had not poured too much).
2. In "Rendezvous", why didn't Sally (Lady Arbuthnott) pawn the ruby necklace that her dear friend, Augusta Ballinger, requested her to?

Answer: the rubies were fake

Augusta owned a ruby necklace which she inherited from her mother, a Northumberland Ballinger heirloom. The whole time, she thought them to be real but when she was forced to pawn them after losing a game of cards to Lord Lovejoy, Sally discovers they are nothing but paste. Fortunately, Augusta's husband, Greystone, was both generous and enamored with his new wife and exchanged the fake rubies for real ones, which he gave her in the end.
3. In "Dangerous", why did Prudence Merryweather risk her life and reputation to come to Sebastian, Earl of Angelstone, in the middle of the night?

Answer: she wanted to save her brother from an impending duel

"Dangerous" is the first Amanda Quick novel I read, and it starts with Prudence bravely announcing herself at the house of the Earl of Angelstone. Her brother had taken one of the Earl's cold comments as an insult to the woman he was courting and challenged him to a duel.

However, Prudence knew only too well that Sebastian was skilled whereas her brother was a poor fighter and as such, faces certain death.
4. In "Surrender", according to the saying in the village of Stonevale, what must their Earl marry for in order for the land to prosper?

Answer: love

According to the villagers, the Earl of Stonevale must marry for love alone, thinking that the happiness of the people depended on the happiness of their lord and lady, whom they called the 'amber knight' and the 'amber lady'. It was so until the time when one of the earls fell in love with a woman who did not love him.

The woman died later on and when the earl remarried, he married only for money and not love. The lands suffered and it was told that everything would only flourish again when the 'amber knight' and his lady returned. Eventually, they did in the persons of Lucas Colebrook and his wife Victoria Huntington, whom he married first for money but inevitably fell in love with.
5. In "Seduction", why does Sophy Dorring refuse to wear the Ravenwood emeralds at first?

Answer: they remind her too much of her husband's first wife, Elizabeth

Julian, Earl of Ravenwood, first married a woman named Elizabeth who unfortunately did not love him but rather, squandered his wealth on her many lovers. It was one of her lovers, Lord Waycott, who killed her in the end although the blame was laid on Julian. Years later, Julian would marry another - Sophy Dorring.

She was also nearly killed by Lord Waycott and while she was his prisoner, he told her how Elizabeth loved the emeralds. Sophy managed to escape but what Lord Waycott said remained in her mind and she only wore the emeralds after she was sure that Julian loved her. From then on, she only thought of Julian's eyes filled with love when she wore the emeralds.
6. In "Ravished", what is Viscount Gideon Westbrook more known as?

Answer: the Beast of Blackthorne Hall

Because of the scars on his face, Gideon was called the Beast of Blackthorne Hall and it was only Harriet Pomeroy, a cave explorer from a small seaside village, who saw through his deformity and fell in love with him, defending him even from all who spoke ill against him...The pseudonym 'Hellhound' belongs to Gareth, the hero of "Desire"; 'The Relentless' is often attached to the name of Sir Hugh from "Mystique"; and 'The Mad Monk from Moncrest' to Leo from "With This Ring".
7. In "With This Ring", where do Lucy Poole and Leo Drake finally find the 'keys of Aphrodite'?

Answer: in a copy of Lucy's first book

According to legend, the "keys of Aphrodite", as implied, can be used to open the base of a statue of Aphrodite wherein a certain treasure is hidden. Lucy later found the 'keys' in between the pages of the first book she wrote, originally titled 'The Ruin' and then changed to 'Castle of Shadows' under her pen name Amelia York.
8. In "Scandal", what are Emily Faringdon and the Earl of Blade likened to, respectively?

Answer: elf and dragon

The Earl of Blade called his wife, Emily, an 'elf' not only for her short and delicate stature but also for her passionate nature. In turn, Emily likened her husband to one of the golden dragons he loves collecting, because of his strength.
9. In the early chapters of "Mischief", the 'cold-blooded' Colchester used to sleep in what?

Answer: a mummy's tomb

The Earl of Colchester, Matthias, was dubbed coldhearted because of the stony way he dealt with everything and the darkness in his eyes, sending chills across other people's spines. It was only 'immodest' Imogen who brought gentleness and warmth in his life with her great love. Thus, in the end of the book, it is said that "he knew he would never again be cold".
10. Finally, this last question concerns a recent Amanda Quick novel. In "The Paid Companion", which scientist's name is mentioned several times throughout the book?

Answer: Isaac Newton

"The Paid Companion" revolves around a scientific device hidden in a laboratory beneath the city of London. It is said that the man who would be able to make it work would be the second Newton but as proven in the end by Arthur, Earl of St. Merryn, and his paid companion-wife Eleonora Lodge, there could only be one Newton.
