I am shamelessly stealing another of LaurieC's ideas from the last Mansfield Park GR (though mine will not be as evil as hers were) and presenting a weekly trivia quiz. How closely did you read your text? No consulting your books - or the pop-up text!
As an aside, I do have an ulterior motive: portions of these quizzes will be used next year during the RoP trip to England. ;-)
- Besides the Baronetage, in which Book of Books is the Elliot family mentioned?
- What was Lady Elliot's maiden name?
- Who acquired "artificial importance" and how?
- Where in London were Sir Walter and Mr Elliot seen together?
- Which 40 year old admiral does Sir Walter mistake for a man of 60?
- Where did Mr Shepherd and Admiral Croft meet?
- Where did Mr Wentworth, the curate, live?
- What are Elizabeth's three methods of retrenching?
- Who, in Mr Shepherd's opinion, is "the very best preserver of furniture in the world"?
- In consequence of what was Frederick Wentworth made a commander?
How did you do? I'll post the answers in a couple of days.
