Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who does Princess Alexandra advise Sickert to tell about the blackmail?

Answer: Queen Victoria

Princess Alexandra, or Alix, was Prince Eddy's mother, and a friend of Sickert. She was unpopular with the queen, but she knew that a potential scandal of this magnitude must be reported to Victoria.

2. What number is on William Gull's door?

Answer: 74

Netley picks up Dr Gull from his home at 74 Brook Street, which was the confirmed address of the real life William Gull. The quote by Gull during this sequence - "I shall be your baggage" - was a genuine quote by the real life Gull, but was taken from a different situation.

3. What is the first location Gull asks Netley to head for?

Answer: Oxford Circus

This entire chapter focuses on Gull guiding Netley, as they drive round London to numerous places of Masonic interest. All of the locations listed above were either visited or driven through during the chapter.

4. Which of the following terms does Gull object to when Netley uses it?

Answer: Done away with

Gull says that the term "done away with" refers to common murder. He claims that what they are doing is "Grand Work", and that it has many layers of complexities.

5. What does Gull want Netley to know about Battle Bridge Road?

Answer: Boadicea was buried there

Gull tells Netley the story of how Boadicea was a great leader, who led an uprising against the Romans after they raped her and her daughters for wishing to pass the crown down the female side of the family instead of the male. He tells Netley how Boadicea was one of the last of the great female leaders, and she is buried under Battle Bridge Raod.

6. Gull refers to London as "England's _______". Fill in the blank.

Answer: Heart

He tells Netley that they aspire to "probe the ventricles of London, England's heart". This metaphor is typical of Gull, who makes his living as a surgeon. He tries to teach Netley that London's history can be learnt even by someone who is as uneducated as he is.

7. What type of settlement did Hackney used to be?

Answer: Saxon

Gull tells Netley that Hackney used to be Hakons Ea, an old Saxon settlement. Gull seems to admire the way that the Saxons worshipped their heroes as Gods.

8. Which of the following was NOT one of the Dionysian attributes found in the right side of the human brain, according to Gull?

Answer: Imagination

Gull says that the left brain has the Apollonian skills - reason, logic, and science, while the right brain has the Dionysian attributes - magic, art, and madness. He is trying to explain to Netley how people who would now be seen as mad, would have been seen as visionaries in previous generations.

9. What was the name of William Blake's wife?

Answer: Catherine Sophia

We see the name of Blake's wife on his gravestone. Gull shows Netley Blake's grave, which stands in the shadow of the obelisk on Defoe's grave. I couldn't resist putting in a William Blake question - he's a big idol of mine!

10. Which century hosted the purest form of Christianity, according to Nicholas Hawksmoor?

Answer: 4th Century AD

Hawksmoor knew that 4th Century Britain had a pagan side to it, so he built the church of St Luke's with an obelisk as a steeple. The obelisk represented an altar to the sun, masculinity, and reason.

11. What is the name of the London square, named after a Masonic poet?

Answer: Northampton Square

Gull points out that there have been many London poets who remained uncommemorated, yet the Marquis of Northampton got a square named after him because he was a Mason. Upon hearing this, Netley asks Gull to put his name forward to become a Mason.

12. Which of the following was NOT one of the places Gull says some Masons claim descent from?

Answer: Hell

Gull says that all this is nonsense, and the order actually dates back to the 18th Century. Gull claims that early Masons include Christopher Wren and John Vanbrugh.

13. Gull lists a number of names for the Sun God. He mentions: Apollo Lud Helios Atum Bel Baal. He also mentions one other name, what is this?

Answer: Belinos

Gull tries to point out to Netley that all ancient religions essentially worshipped the same God -The God of the sun. Belinos was the son of King Lud, and both are recognised as sun gods.

14. What is in the pie that Gull eats at the inn?

Answer: Kidney

Gull and Netley stop to eat during their day-long tour of London. While in the inn, Gull explains to Netley how the Gods exist in people's minds, and give birth to all instinct and inspiration.

15. How many seamen lost their lives while cutting loose Cleopatra's Needle from their boat during a storm?

Answer: 6

Cleopatra's Needle was reputed to be cursed. It was raised in Ancient Egypt to worship the Sun God, Atum, and ever since, it has been the cause of countless "accidents" and deaths.
