| This picture has absolutely nothing to do with the post. It's just funny and I'm currently in a rather silly mood. |
Last week, Anne-girl and I went to a sleepover at a dear friend's house, and naturally all three of us suffered from a serious overdose of Giggles. During our visit, we put together a period drama trivia quiz just for laughs, and with the other girls' permission I decided to post it on here.
Each question is multiple-choice, with four choices per answer, and each comes from a different period drama (though some come from the same one). You can get one point for each correct answer and one point for each correct guess as to which question comes from which film. Maximum number of points: 24. Comment with your guesses and I'll reveal all the correct answers next Saturday. I won't publish your comments until then, to make it fair. (There are some other random references/quotes sprinkled throughout the answers... you will not get any more points for identifying these, but you may tremendously impress me, so go for it!)

Ladies-- don't forget to guess the films that these questions come from if you want to accumulate more points!
Hayden,
Ten points, great job! The only ones you missed were 2 and 9--feel free to guess again.
Molly,
You have five points! The only ones you missed were 7 and 9.

Hint: the "good hunting" is not from a period drama. Sorry if that was confusing! :)
You have twelve points! Hahaha about #10... I agree.
Nessima,
Twelve points, congratulations!
Melody,
You have twelve also!
A on #4 amused you, did it? Haha. That is the general idea. D is actually not random on 5 if you're from my family. :D Whoops, thanks for catching the second C on 7! I'll fix that.

11. d, Sense & Sensibility (although "a good that lays golden eggs" might have been more helpful if he'd thought of it. "a spyglass monocle thingy" - so Col. Brandon is Sir Percy now? hee)
12. oh dear! is it c? must be. from The Scarlet Pimpernel ("timey-miney detector" huh? Is Marguerite to be The Doctor's new traveling companion? ;)

Thanks for the fun quiz, Luv!
Melody,
Your score is now 24 points! Swellissimus!
Okay, I'll just tell you about the llama thing on here for everyone else's benefit. :D If you've ever heard the song "Circle of Life" from The Lion King, you'll know that it begins with a whole bunch of Swahili that Google says is "Nants ingonyama bagithi baba." But one time my cousin Emma said that it sounded like "pink pajamas with penguins on the bottom" and now that's how we sing it. "Pink pajamas, penguins on the bottom... pink pajamas, penguins on the bottom... from the day we arrive on the planet..." Et cetera and so forth.
And a llama in pajamas is just one of those things, you know? So it seems reasonable enough to extend that to a llama in pink pajamas with penguins on the bottom.
That was a long explanation.
Charity,
You have twelve points! The only ones you missed were the movie for #8 and the answer for #12 (the movie was correct for 12 though).
Rhoswen,
You have fifteen points! Your movie guesses were all correct but unfortunately your answers on 1,5, 9 and 10 were incorrect.
Kathryn,
Ten points for you! The only ones you missed were 5 and 9. Don't forget to guess the films to accumulate more points!
Sarah,
Twenty points, great job! All your guesses were correct.
Kiri Liz,
Heehee, that's okay-- you're not the only one who didn't seem to notice that part. :P
You now have a total of 24 points!
Miss Laurie,
The "quite enough, madam" is actually not Henry Tilney but you're on the right track. :D I'm not sure you would know the "good hunting" reference though.
Your total is 22 points! The only answers you missed were 9 and 12; you guessed all the films correctly.
Jessa Bri,
Great job, you have 24 points and no mistakes!
Rachel,
You're welcome, luv! You have all 24 points! :D

Mykaela,
Certainly you may guess the movies... but did you answer the questions? If you did, your comment never showed up. :( You have nine points-- the only one you got wrong was #2.
Eowyn,
You have 21 points! The only one you missed was the movie for #10. Hahaha, I should have used your suggestion as one of the options for #6... now that IS a happy thought indeed. :D
I haven't seen Doctor Who, but I've heard a great deal about it (enough to quote and make random references so people think I've seen it. Heehee.)
Jessica,
You have 22 points! The only one you missed was the question for #5 (you guessed the movie right, though).
Haha, yes, I always do feel a bit flattered at that part... Well, pleased would probably be a better word. :P
Awdur,
You're not too late! You have three points-- the questions you missed were 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 12. Feel free to try again and don't forget to guess the movies!
Margaret Hale,
You have all 24 points, great job! Heehee, I was quite sure you'd get #8 right... ;)
Lydia,
You have 23 points-- the only one you missed was the question for #9.
Scullery Maid,
Heehee, good point-- but then *I* am not society. Are you? ;)
You have twenty-three points total-- the only question you missed was #9.
Ugh. That's very annoying, because I DID answer the questions! :( Oh, well. Here we go again. The "Good Hunting" phrase is originally from "The Jungle Book" but is quoted a lot in the Bastable books. (Swoon) Ok, maybe they aren't anything to swoon over, but since I am in the middle of reading them for about the 15th time, I swoon anyway. Ok, here are the question answers. (I hope:)
1. a
2. b
3. a
4. d
5. c
6. b
7. c
8. c
9. b?

12. (never watched this...but is it c?)
Anyway, I hope this one comes through, because I made wild guesses on a couple of them. Thanks! It was a lot of fun! :)
