Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Modesty first meets him when her plane is forced down in Kalimba, where he is working at a mission. He shares adventures with Modesty and Willie in "The Impossible Virgin" and "The Xanadu Talisman." He is physically clumsy, gauche, eccentric, unworldly and hopelessly honest. He calls her "old girl" until she asks him to stop.
2. He is a former Network operative, a Frenchman who specializes in seducing women and learning their secrets. Modesty has thought him long dead when an unexpected clue leads her to the plantation where he has been a slave for several years in "Last Day in Limbo."
3. Although he claims to be a metallurgist when he first appears in "I, Lucifer", he is really a mathematician who investigates psychic phenomena. His dry wit and self-proclaimed cowardice belie his courage under fire. After he marries Dinah Pilgrim, they both remain friends with Modesty and Willie, appearing in several adventures with them.
4. Modesty first met him in her Network days, when she seduced him in order to get some information. He is an artist who also works for both Sir Gerald Tarrant and René Vabois. He appears in "Modesty Blaise".

6. He is an American billionaire who first meets Modesty in person in "Sabretooth", although their acquaintance goes back to Network days. He uses his influence and wealth to help her out in "I, Lucifer." He is nearly kidnapped in "Last Day in Limbo", along with Modesty, when we learn that his grandmother's name was Tall Owl in the Tree.
7. This "honest cop" is an acquaintance of Modesty's Network days. In "A Taste for Death" he helps her rescue Willie Garvin and Dinah Pilgrim from Panama. He eventually rises to Minister of Defence in that country.
8. A pilot and amateur spelunker, he is rescued by Modesty after a fall in "The Silver Mistress". He's a young man with a bit of a volatile temper, and an annoying habit of calling Modesty "Ducky."
9. Rescued from the sea, in "Dragon's Claw," by Modesty as she is sailing alone from Australia to New Zealand, he is an artist who has amnesia. He never fully regains his memory, and is killed by the same villains who kidnapped and brainwashed him before Modesty found him.
