Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does Mosca's name mean?

Answer: fly-born

Mosca was born under the god of flies. Her name means 'fly born'.

2. What was Mosca's goose named?

Answer: Saracen

"Mosca cupped her hands under Saracen's weight and lifted the goose up above her head."

3. What is Clent's first name?

Answer: Eponymous

"Ah- a very sad case. I found her starving on the village outskirts, and no man with any feeling could have left her to-" Clent's sentence was broken off with a sudden squawk. Peering through the crack of the door, Mosca saw that Mistress Bessel had playfully taken a pincer hold on his nose with the sugarloaf cutters.

"Now, Eponymous, when I want a story from you, I'll pay for it."

4. Who was the bandit who almost robbed Lady Tamarind?

Answer: Black Captain Blythe

"His face was a fearful sight. It was a good few moments before Mosca understood the meaning behind his reddened eyes, his drawn-back upper lip and the occasional puckering of his face, and she realized that the highwayman was suffering from a streaming cold.

"Black Captain Blythe," Clent muttered wearily under his breath."

5. What is Clent really?

Answer: A Stationer spy

"A cricle, a crackle. Somewhere not far from Mosca's head lay Clent's fistful of papers. Somewhere amoung them lay the Stationer's letter. Even the few lines Mosca had read were enough to prove Clent a Stationer spy."

6. What color was Mabwick Toke's tongue?

Answer: black

His tongue was black because he always bit his pens. The ink caused it to become black.

7. Who is Lady Tamarind related to?

Answer: Duke of Mandelion

"And... you're Lady Tamarind. The sister of the Duke. The Duke of Mandelion."-Mosca

8. Mosca has white eyebrows in the beginning of the book.

Answer: True

The water from Chouch was white, so it turned all exposed hair on the body white.

9. Why did Mosca want to leave Chough so badly?

Answer: She burned down her uncle's mill.

"Very soon," Mosca said quietly, "my uncle will wake up. An' when he does... he's likely to notice that I've burned down the mill."

10. Who does Mosca think Goodlady Prill think would sound like?

Answer: Aunt Briony

Mosca always thought that Goodlady Prill looked a little like Aunt Briony.
