Twinsome.

[slemslempike]

I found a piece of a quiz thing I was going to do a while ago in honour of alltheleaves, and then completely forgot about. Better late than never, eh? And hopefully it might entertain some people. Or at the very least, me, as I like comments but can't be bothered to earn them right now. Answer as many or as few questions as you choose in preferably more than one word where applicable.

Which school do Pat and Isobel O'Sullivan attend? (correct spelling please!)

What are the middle names of the Maynard triplets?

Joey Maynard produces triplets and two sets of twins over about a decade. Rosamund Kentisbury produces two sets of twins within one year. Which is the greater achievement?

You awake to find yourself in bed surrounded by incredibly posh women in country dancing frocks. Apparently you have had the temerity to be injured by some psychopathic twins, and now as a penance you are expected to stay in some sort of ruins and work unpaid.
a) How were you injured?
b) How will you escape your fate? Please pay particular attention to the correct use of gentlemen's titles.

Nicola and Lawrie Marlow are identical twins. You have captured one of them but can't work out which. What are some tests you might set to discover their identity?

What is the best ever set of twins you have ever encountered in fiction?

What is the worst ever set of twins you have ever encountered in fiction?

Which twin set would you most like to be one of?

Rosamund definitely gets bonus points for beating initial (literal) handicap by dragging the Earl to a doctor to render him capable of having sex in the first place.

My son has a small friend called Kester and I have great difficulty not treating the poor child with great suspicion because of it.

Your fourth question is a work of genius but I can't answer it.

Little did EJO realise the prurience that issue would lead to. You can't help wondering...

I'm sorry for little Kester as I've always found Kester senior the most boring man in Chaletland.

I know! I mean, from absolute write-off to fecund god so quickly...

I find Kester Bellever faintly creepy. Presumably the mother of the one I know isn't a Chalet reader as I can't imagine naming anyone after him.

I love early Rosamund but she goes seriously downhill once she starts doing nothing but produce twins.

I quite like the name Kester, I think. But I've never seen it anywhere else.

It's the name of the hunky travelling weaver in Mary Webb's Precious Bane - Kester Woodseaves.

I have a feeling Georgette Heyer uses it as a nickname for Christopher in her twin-swopping romp False Colours.
