Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Miss Marple begins this chapter with her village tale. In it, half a crown was taken from whose bag?

Answer: Mrs. Trent

Miss Marple quickly tells how Mrs. Trent's cleaning lady was suspected of stealing the money even though she was innocent. She uses this to highlight the fact that being under suspicion is hardest on those who are innocent.

2. How Dr. Rosen die?

Answer: Broken neck after falling downstairs

Sir Henry says that the man had been found at the bottom of the stairs with a broken neck. He can't prove, however, if the fall was accidental or murder.

3. What was the name of the secret German society that Dr. Rosen helped to bring down?

Answer: Schwartze Hand

The Schwartze Hand were very dangerous and still had members who would want revenge on Dr. Rosen. Therefore, it is up to Sir Henry to set him up somewhere he can be protected.

4. What was the name of the village that Dr. Rosen moved to?

Answer: King's Gnaton

The village of King's Gnaton was the setting for Dr. Rosen's death. It is located in Somerset.

5. What relation was Greta to Dr. Rosen?

Answer: Niece

Greta was his niece but not above suspicion from Sir Henry as he says that the Second World War showed how families can turn against each other.

6. Why was Sir Henry wary of suspecting Charles Templeton?

Answer: He was one of his men

Sir Henry wanted to have someone on the inside of the house so that he could be aware of what was going on there. Charles spoke German and lived in the house as a secretary. However, Sir Henry does not exclude him from the list of suspects, although he is apprehensive about doing so.

7. Which of the following had not come to the cottage on the morning that Dr. Rosen died?

Answer: Fishmonger

The butcher, postman and someone from the grocer's shop had all made deliveries on the morning that Dr. Rosen died. They were all examined and found to be correct.

8. Dr. Rosen received a letter from someone he didn't know on the morning of his death. What word in that letter was capitalised unnecessarily?

Answer: Honesty

Dr. Rosen's letter had the word honesty spelt with a capital letter in the middle of a sentence. Some of the other letters combined with that were a code. They spelt out the word death.

9. Which of the suspects went to see Sir Henry after the event?

Answer: Greta

Greta went to see Sir Henry to ask about Charles Templeton's innocence. He says that his suspicions of Charles grew from then as she had placed the seed of doubt in his mind. In reality, she was trying to fix him on a suspect other than herself.

10. Who does Miss Marple expect that Charles Templeton will marry?

Answer: His German cousin

Charles Templeton recieved a letter from a cousin in Germany on the morning Dr. Rosen died. Miss Marple thinks that him throwing that letter away is suspicious in a different sense of the word.
