Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the Egyptian fairy tale that Amelia is translating into English?

Answer: "The Doomed Prince"

The fairy tale told an interesting story. A king had a son, and it was predicted that the son would be killed by a snake, a crocodile, or a dog. "Wadi" is the Arabic word for canyon.

2. Do Ramses and Nefret accompany Emerson and Amelia to Egypt?

Answer: No

They stayed with Evelyn and Walter. Amelia was secretly glad, because she wanted some time alone with Emerson. She wanted things to be like the "old days", when the first met. Little does she know that she is, in an uncanny way, about to get her wish. . .

3. Mr. Vincey asks Emerson and Amelia to take care of his cat. What is his cat's name?

Answer: Anubis

In "The Hippopotamus Pool", which is the next book, Anubis and Bastet, the Emersons' other cat, who is Ramses' pet, hate each other and are always fighting.

4. What is Mr. Vandergelt's first name?

Answer: Cyrus

When they were trying to restore Emerson's memory, Cyrus was a great comfort to Amelia, and helped her through the hard time. At least, the man she *thought* was Cyrus. As it turned out, he was really Sethos, the Master Criminal, who was masquerading as Cyrus.

5. Where do Emerson's abductors want Amelia to meet them?

Answer: The Winter Palace Hotel

The abductors send Amelia a note shortly after Emerson's disappearance, but Cyrus refuses to let her go, because he's almost positive that it's a trap.

6. Complete this sentence in one of Ramses' letters: "Aunt Evelyn assures me my _____ will soon grow back."

Answer: hair

Ramses has quite a little adventure!

7. What is the name of the girl who comes to Emerson for protection, and who was working for his abductors?

Answer: Bertha

Cyrus isn't sure he wants her with them, because she could be a spy, but Amelia says that she will not refuse protection to a poor individual.

8. What is the Master Criminal's real name? (According to this book).

Answer: Sethos

The Master Criminal fell in love with Amelia in "The Lion in the Valley", which made Emerson hate him even more.

9. What are the names of the two men who work with Cyrus?

Answer: Rene and Charlie

Rene, a Frenchman, falls in love with the mysterious and alluring Bertha.

10. In order to hide his real occupation from Emerson, what does Kevin O'Connell pretend to be?

Answer: Detective

Kevin, an Irishman with bright red hair and freckles, is a journalist who always seems to be tagging along with Amelia and Emerson. In "The Curse of the Pharaohs", when they first meet, Emerson throws him down the stairs! Talk about a bad first impression. Thanks for playing my quiz.
