It isn't used much (in fact nearly not at all) but it is mentioned, when we briefly visit his brother.

When Lucy is asking Jack Codben about love, he tells her she has lots of time to think about that, being only 16; she then informs him she's nearly 18.

6. What rank is Beaumont being when Peter Raven first meets him?

Answer: Colonel

Peter Raven first sees Beaumont when he's travelling on a Mail Coach. He's in the uniform of a Marine Colonel following his meeting with some French secret agents he doesn't really trust. Beaumont as a secret agent can assume any identity he chooses.

7. Where does General Ancre ask to meet Beaumont and Peter?

Answer: Notre Dame Cathedral

He tells Beaumont and Peter that Napoleon is anxious to see them both. Beaumont asks Ancre why he wanted a secret meeting in a Cathedral. Ancre answers that he thought a visit to the Cathedral would do them both good.

8. Complete the quotation - "I am of course loyal to King George, but as for being English my name is French and my mother is Irish. Whereas Cosgrove is..."

Answer: "...a fine old English name."

Beaumont says this when he and Lucy are dancing and she accuses the English of burning down houses for fun during the American war of Independence.

9. What act of outstanding courage does Lucy ask Beaumont to do before she'll marry him?

Answer: Sail up the Hudson River and ask her Grandfather for her hand

It is a fact that Lucy's Grandfather would rather Lucy "wed Lucifer himself" than wed an English man.

10. What name does Count Vallon assume when he captures HMS Torren?

Answer: Lord Percival Fitzroy

Vallon and his sister are 'rescued' from a sinking ship along with some crewmen by HMS Torren. They pretend their names are Fitzroy and are given good quarters and meals with the captain. They then go on to kill the crew of the Torren and capture the ship.

Nice note to finish on!

Hope you enjoyed my quiz!
