Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Taken at the Flood" (a.k.a. "There Is A Tide..."): Who is the man for Lynn Marchmont?

Answer: Rowley Cloade

"Taken at the Flood" (a Shakespeare quote from "Julius Caesar") deals with a numerous conspiracies all related to the Cloade estate. Poirot and Superintendent Spence solve this mystery.
Lynn Marchmont is the effective heroine of the novel. For a while, she is torn between two men (David Hunter and her fiancé, Rowley Cloade). But it is Rowley whom she loves. Although Rowley is involved in two deaths (one an accident, the other a genuine suicide), Poirot manages for him to avoid charges.
2. "Death in the Clouds" (a.k.a. "Death in the Air"): Jane Grey, with Poirot's support, will most likely marry whom?

Answer: Jean Dupont (fils)

Jane Grey is a hairdresser who happens to be on the same flight as Poirot and the murder victim, the money-lender Madame Giselle. She starts going out with fellow passenger Norman Gale, together with whom she assists Poirot in the investigation. It transpires, however, that Norman is (a) already married, and (b) the murderer. Poirot, who saw that coming all along, recommends her to give the archeologist Jean Dupont a chance.
3. "The Pale Horse": Who is Mark Easterbrook's Ms. Right?

Answer: Ginger

The narrator in "The Pale Horse", author and historian Mark Easterbrook, meets Katherine "Ginger" Corrigan during his investigation of the ominous "Pale Horse", a lucrative business that has specialized in, let's say, betting - more precisely, placing a bet that someone is going to die, and winning that bet.
Hermia is his long-term intellectual girlfriend, but the two of them split up when Mark realizes he loves Ginger.
Rhoda is Mark's cousin and made her first appearance in the Poirot novel "Cards on the Table".
4. "Murder in Mesopotamia": Sheila Reilly has three suitors to choose from, but whom does she choose in the end?

Answer: David Emmott

Dr. Reilly's daughter, Sheila, is a beautiful but complicated young woman. She has three suitors who all compete for her favors, but in the epilogue of the novel Amy Leatheran (the narrator) mentions that she marries "young Emmott".
5. "The Seven Dials Mystery": Bundle finally understands that she's in love with...?

Answer: Bill Eversleigh

Bundle and Bill have both already appeared in "The Secret of Chimneys", but they do not realize they are in love until "The Seven Dials Mystery" draws to a close.
6. "Mrs. McGinty's Dead" (a.k.a. "Blood Will Tell"): Despite his weak personality and rather unattractive appearance, there are two women who are interested in James Bentley. According to Poirot, who will be the one he'll take home eventually?

Answer: Deirdre Henderson

Bentley and Deirdre bonded over Deirdre's dog, who was caught in a trap, and Bentley helped Deirdre rescue him. Maude Williams is a colleague of Bentley's who seems to have developed rather motherly feelings towards him. Poirot feels, however, that Bentley and Deirdre will make a better match.
Evelyn Kane is not a woman at all but the real name of the murderer.
7. "Five Little Pigs" (a.k.a. "Murder in Retrospect"): Amyas Crale was murdered before he could make it clear to everyone whom he really loved, but the reader knows:

Answer: Caroline Crale

Despite his numerous affairs, Amyas Crale always returned to his wife, Caroline, whom he really loved. The fact that his liaison with Elsa Greer was no different is a key plot point in the novel.
Carla is Amyas and Caroline's daughter, and Angela is his sister-in-law.
8. "Death on the Nile": Cornelia Robson receives two proposals, but which one does she accept?

Answer: Dr. Bessner

Cornelia is described as a rather plain woman who takes pleasure in little things. Avid socialist James Ferguson is impressed by her and proposes rather abruptly, but Cornelia prefers to settle down with Dr. Bessner.
Jim Fanthorp does not propose to anyone, and Tim Allerton is already smitten with Rosalie Otterbourne.
9. "The Secret Adversary": Julius P. Hersheimer is in love with, and ends up marrying, whom?

Answer: Jane Finn

Jane, about whose disappearance the plot revolves, is Julius' cousin. He came to England to find her because he fell in love with her picture. Annette and Jane are the same person.
Prudence Cowley is better known as Tuppence Beresford (née Cowley) and goes on to marry Tommy Beresford. The two of them have their own place in Christie literature.
10. "The Secret of Chimneys": Anthony Cade ends up with whom?

Answer: Virginia Revel

Anthony Cade, who is really next in line for the throne of Herzoslovakia, ends up marrying Virginia Revel, who becomes his queen.
Bundle and Lady Eileen are the same person, and Angèle Mory is the real name of the former queen.
