Well, no one got all the answers correct this week, and everyone stumbled on the same one, which sent me to the text to make sure I was correct. I think I am, but we can argue about it, if you'd like. ;-) The quote and explanation can be found below.
- How long was Elizabeth in Kent before Darcy proposed to her?
Five weeks (ch. 35)
- Which of Charlotte's servants does Lady Catherine volunteer to accompany Elizabeth and Maria to London?
John (ch. 37)
- How many times did Elizabeth and Maria dine at Rosings?
Nine times (besides taking tea there twice!) (ch. 38)
- How many hours drive is it from Hunsford to London?
Four hours (ch. 38)
- What is the name of the inn where Kitty and Lydia meet Lizzy and Jane?
The George (ch. 39)
- What does Lydia say is the waiter's defect when she meets Elizabeth and Jane at the inn?
He has a long chin (ch. 39)
- Who helped Kitty and Lydia dress Chamberlayne in women's clothes?
Pen Harrington (ch. 39)
Here's the quote: "…so she asked the two Harringtons to come, but Harriet was ill, and so Pen was forced to come by herself; and then, what do you think we did? We dressed up Chamberlayne in woman's clothes on purpose to pass for a lady -- only think what fun! Not a soul knew of it, but Colonel and Mrs. Forster, and Kitty and me, except my aunt, for we were forced to borrow one of her gowns…" I take this to mean that Lydia and Pen did the dressing while all the others only "knew of it." I can see how people would answer Mrs. Forster et al, but Pen Harrington is the unusual - dare I say, trivial? - name I was looking for.
- Twenty-five years ago Mrs. Bennet's heart broke when whose regiment went away?
Col. Millars' (ch. 41)
- How long have Lydia and Mrs. Forster been acquainted?
Three months (ch. 41)
- What is the age of the Gardiners' eldest child?
Eight (ch. 42)
