2-When the King had been rescued, he wanted to take Rassendyll back with him to Strelsau to tell the people about the brave things he had done, but Sapt said this was not possible, thinking that this

would create a problem. ��ول ، و . 22 6$� J=ر�. ��$6ة��ن ا��#� �$ ; e$0(ا�9 و�� .6Wح إ.

it was easy for Rassendyll to kill him. 153 . '$� 90 ��Rassendyll ��56د ان 5!= � %� ؟ ,+ ا�� ا�Dي &�1#ه و�$'؟1� ط56} د,� ا� Rassendyll +&6 �. ذراZ$�� .1. ، و� � ا��=Detchard #1�& J �6ح ����. �R! Detchardه �� 9%�

?Who says this and when. 1 Rudolf Rassendyll says this while he is eating breakfast with his sister-in-law.

?What does the person mean by this. 2 He means that ifan opportunity comes, he takes it but he doesn’t look for work or responsibilities.

?Do you think a person like this is very serious about work or life. 3 Opinions may vary. But his sister-in-law does not think that he is very serious about work and life with this attitude.

The innkeeper (inn owner) says this to Rassendyll. ?Who is the person talking about. 2

She’s talking about Duke Michael, the Duke of Strelsau. ?What more does the speaker think about the person. 3

She wishes that he would be the King. 2Chapter

.Answer these questions. A 1) Why do you think Fritz says that it is not a good time for Rassendyll to visit Strelsau? Perhaps Fritz thinks there will be problems with someone who looks so much like the King. 2) How does the King react to Fritz's suggestion, and what does that tell you about the King? The King seems surprised by the suggestion (He says, “What?”) and asks Sapt what he thinks. Perhaps it means that the King is not very wise, or that he depends too much on other people for advice. 3) Why don't Fritz and Sapt eat very much? What advice do they give the King? Does he listen to them? They don’t want to overeat because they have to get up early the next day. They advise the King not to eat too much. He doesn’t listen to them. 4) What happens at the end of the meal? What is the result the next day? The servant brings some cakes from the Duke. The King eats a lot of them and is poisoned. He can’t be woken up the next day. 5) Why does the Duke poison the King?

20

He hopes that the King will miss the coronation and that he (the Duke) will become the King instead. 6) Is Rassendyll also poisoned? Why isn't he as sick as the King? He is probably also poisoned because they have to throw water in his face to wake him up. But he ate only one cake, so he did’t eat as much poison. The King eats more, so he receives more poison. 7) Rassendyll tells himself that he has no choice but to pretend to be the King. Do you think he has a choice? Is there something else they can do? No, he has no choice as he looks exactly like the king 8) How and when will they get the King to Strelsau? They will hide the King in the cellar of the lodge. At night, after the coronation, Sapt and Rassendyll will come back and get the King. Sapt will take him back to the palace, and Rassendyll will leave the country. 9) Who overhears their plan? What do they do with the person? Johann’s mother (who is a servant to the Duke) overhears the plan. They tie her up and lock her in the cellar with the King. Josef will let her out later. 10) Why do they go to the station early instead of waiting for Duke Michael's guards? The Duke’s guards have probably been told to kidnap or kill the King. They want to get out of the lodge and be on their way to the capital before the Duke’s men come. 11) What is the first thing they do when they reach the capital? Why aren't the people from the palace at the station in Strelsau to meet them? The first thing they do is eat breakfast at the train station. The palace people aren’t there yet because the King (Rassendyll) arrived earlier than planned. 12) Why is Rassendyll afraid when he sees Antoinette de Mauban? Her expression changes, so he thinks she recognises that he is not the real King. He is afraid that she will shout out and tell others .

.Read the quotations and answer the questions !"The King is hungry! ll have some breakfast'I, Meanwhile"

1. Who says this to whom? 1. Rassendyll (disguised as the King) says this to Sapt and Fritz. 2. Where and when does he say this?. In the train station at Strelsau. They have just arrived but they are early, so Rassendyll will eat first. 3. What does this show you about the speaker? He is feeling a little more relaxed and acting more like the King.

."both KingsGod save " 1. Who said this and where was he? Sapt said this in the restaurant at the train station in Strelsau. 2. What did the people say just before this?.

He is worried about the safety of both men, the real King and the pretend King.

Chapter 3 A. Answer these questions. 1) What kind of people live in the old part of the city? What does Rassendyll do when the Marshal wants him to ride through the old part of town? The people in the old part are poor and many of them are loyal to Duke Michael. Rassendyll tells the soldiers to ride ahead and behind him, not next to him, so that he can show the people that he trusts them. 2) Why is Sapt so anxious about Rassendyll's decision to ride alone through the old town? He knows that the people in the old town support the Duke and he is afraidthat Rassendyll will be hurt or attacked there. 3) Why does Duke Michael's face turn white when he sees "the King" (Rassendyll)? He thought that the King was still in Zenda (because he had poisoned him), so he is surprised to see the King here at the coronation. 4) Does Michael realise that this is not the real King? How do you know?

21

Yes, Michael knows Rassendyll is not the real King. First, Michael knows (or thinks) that the King is poisoned and still in Zenda. And the words in the story tell us: “No one else ... seemed to realise that I was not the real King.” This means Michael realised it but no other person. 5) Does the Princess know that this is not the real King? What does she say about him? She thinks this is the real King, but she says that he has changed. He is more tired and serious, and also thinner. 6) Why do Rassendyll and Sapt need a permit to leave the city? Michael controls the city and he has had news from Zenda, so he won’t want people to leave the city. 7) How do they get a permit from the King? Sapt can write like the King and he signs the paper. 8) What does Fritz do while Sapt and Rassendyll go to Zenda? He stays and guards the bedroom. He must not let anyone inside the room. 9) How do Sapt and Rassendyll get out of the palace? Why do they go this way? They go through a secret passage in the wall and out of a secret back door. They do this because they don’t want anyone to see them and they want people to think that the King is in his bedroom. 10) Who else is riding to Zenda? Which way do they go at the fork in the road? Which way do Sapt and Rassendyll go? Duke Michael and his servant Max Holt are riding to Zenda. They decide to go to the castle. Sapt and Rassendyll go to the hunting lodge. 11) What do you think the message "all is well" means? It probably means that the King is captured, as that is what the Duke was planning, but there may be other details that are also “well”. 12) What do Sapt and Rassendyll find inside the lodge? Johann’s mother and the King are gone. Josef is killed. 13) What does Sapt want Rassendyll to do? He wants him to continue to pretend to be the King. Read the quotations and answer the questions. "Tell your soldiers to ride ahead of me. I don't need them or you. You can wait here until I've continued through the old town alone." I. Who says this to whom?. Rassendyll says this to Marshal Strakencz. 2. Where are they and when is this?. They are in the streets of Strelsau, going from the station to the coronation. This is before the coronation. 3. Why does the speaker say this? . He wants to act as a king. He wants the people to know that he trusts them. "You mustn't try too hard. I'm not sure it was a good idea to ride alone through the old town. Duke Michael won't like it if you become too popular with his people, you know. " 1. Who says this to whom?. Fritz says this to Rassendyll. 2. Where and when is this said?. They are in the King’s bedroom after the coronation. 3. Why did the person ride alone through the old town and why won't Duke Michael like it if the person becomes too popular? . Rassendyll wanted to act like a real king and show that he wasn’t afraid of the people/show that he trusted the people. Duke Michael won’t like it because if he tries to become King, the people will probably support him. But if the King/Rassendyll becomes popular, it will be harder for Michael to get the support of the people. "If all's well, why go there? And if all isn't well, I fear there 'Il be a trap. " 1. Who says this to whom?. Max Holt says this to Duke Michael. 2. Where are they?. They are on the road between Strelsau and Zenda./On the way to Zenda. 3. What is "there"? What do you think he means by "all's well"? . “There” means the hunting lodge. “All’s well” probably means that the Duke’s plan has gone ahead and that the King is kidnapped. "We'll go back to Strelsau. The King will be back in the capital again tomorrow!" 1. Who says this to whom?. Sapt says this to Rassendyll. 2. Where are they and what has happened? They are in the hunting lodge near Zenda. They have found Josef dead and the King is gone.

4Chapter .Answer these questions. A

1) What does Sapt plan to do if the real King is dead? He plans that Rassendyllwill remain as King.

2) Why do Michael's men have spades? What does it mean that they were going to "hide their evil work"?

They are going to bury Josef’s body so no one will know about his murder. 3) What does Rassendyll mean that some of those evil men should join Josef?

Rassendyll means that some of them should be killed. They should join Josef in death. 4) Why does Sapt say to the servant at the secret door "All young men like to ride their horses now and then, so why not the King?"

He wants the servant to think that the King was just out riding for fun. He doesn’t want him to know anything about where they were. Sapt says it’s best not to trust people too much. 5) Why does Rassendyll use a new servant who has never met the real King? Who is the servant replacing?

The new servant would be less likely to realise that Rassendyll is not the real King. The servant is replacing Josef, who was killed byMichael’s men. 6) Who are the Six Men? Where are they from? Why are only three in Strelsau?

They are six special soldiers that Duke Michael keeps in his house all the time. Three are from Ruritania, one is French, one is Belgian, one is English. Sapt and Fritz assume that if only three are in Strelsau, the other three must be guarding the King. 7) Rassendyll decides to keep some of his plans secret from Sapt and Fritz. What are those plans?

He plans to make himself as popular as he can, and to not say anything bad about Michael. This way, if there were a fight, some of the people would support him (the King) and not Michael. Michael would not become stronger this way. 8) Why does he visit the Princess? What does he do on the way? How do these things make him more popular?. He wants to get the support of the Princess (for the King). On the way he buys some flowers from a poor girl and pays with a gold coin. Giving the coin makes him look generous to the people. The people like the Princess and seem to want the King to marry her, so visiting her will make the people happy. 9) Why can't Michael come into the room when the King is there? What mistake does Rassendyll make? How does he cover up his mistake?

Michael can’t come into the room without the King’s permission (because the King is royal and higher than Michael). Rassendyll does not know this rule, and he makes the mistake of asking why Michael will be angry (that he isn’t asked to enter the room). He covers his mistake by saying that he keeps forgetting all the rules. 10) Rassendyll says that his hand was hurt from an animal bite and that he's waiting to see if the bite is poisonous. He also says that he is sure the animal will try to bite again. Who is he really talking about, and who understands this?

He is really talking about Michael (his poisoning and kidnapping of the King, and his men’s shooting at Rassendyll), and Michael understands this. 11) How does Rassendyll know that the Six Men also know his secret?

He knows because of the way Detchard (the Englishman) smiles at him when he is presented to him. Rassendyll knows that if one of the Six Men knows, they will all know.

5Chapter Answer these questions. A

1. Rassendyll has never liked responsibilities. Now he has many. What responsibilities does he have? He has to act like the King. He has to run the country. He has to try to rescue the real King from Michael. 2. Why does Rassendyll become good at pretending he has forgotten rules or people he has met? How does that prevent people from noticing that he is not the real King? What else do you think helps him not to be discovered? When he makes a mistake in pretending to be the King he has to cover it up by pretending that he has forgotten something or someone. In this way, people don’t notice that he’s not the real King. Other things that might help him are these: people don’t expect that there is a pretend King, so they don’t look for one; they see what they expect to see. He looks nearly identical to the King, so this helps. Also Sapt stays close to him to tell him what to say or do 3. Sapt brings news of the real King. What is it? The King is at the Castle of Zenda. 4. Why does Rassendyll want to go to Zenda? What does Sapt mean when he says “You’ll probably stay there forever if you do”? He wants to go to rescue the real King. Sapt means that Rassendyll will either be imprisoned in Zenda or killed there if he goes. 5. Why does Sapt have Rassendyll followed everywhere? What does he mean by “If you disappear, the game’s over”? He has him followed to protect him from Michael’s men. If they can kill orkidnap Rassendyll, they will kill the real King and make Michael the King. Rassendyll’s game of pretending to be King would be over. 6. Who writes a letter to Rassendyll and what does it say? Who does he suspect really wrote it? Antoinette de Mauban writes a letter. It tells him to come to a certain place in a summer house in a garden late at night. He suspects that Michael wrote the letter (or at least dictated it to her). 7. When Rassendyll talks to Detchard at the summer house, what does Detchard offer him? Why doesn’t Rassendyll accept it? Detchard offers to give Rassendyll 50,000 English pounds and a safe journey to the border. Rassendyll doesn’t accept this because he knows that they will kill the real King, and he doesn’t trust them. They will promise him one thing but kill him instead. 8. How does Rassendyll come out of the summer house alive? He holds the iron table in front of him to protect him (like a shield) and he rushes out of the door and knocks the three men down. He runs quickly away. 9. Why have they prepared a ball for the Princess? They want to make the people happy and make them think that the King wants to marry the Princess. They want Rassendyll to ask the Princess to marry him. Some people think that if the King doesn’t marry her soon, she should marry Duke Michael.

24

10. Rassendyll tells the Princess that when he was younger, he thought he didn’t need to worry about society. Why does he say this? How does the Princess react? Why is it a mistake for him to say this? He says it because he is forgetting to act like the King. He is thinking that he is himself, Rassendyll. The Princess is surprised because the King must have always known that he was going to become the King one day. This is a mistake by Rassendyll because he almost uncovers the truth about who he is. 11. The day after the ball, the Princess receives two letters. What are they and who are they from? One is an invitation from Michael for her to visit him in Zenda. The other is a warning not to accept any invitations from Michael and not to go anywhere without many guards. It is from Antoinette de Mauban (although the Princess doesn’t know this). 12. What does Rassendyll do when he hears of these letters? Who does he go to? He orders a guard for the Princess. He goes to Marshal Strakencz and gives him some orders. 13. What does Rassendyll tell Marshal Strakencz to do? He tells him to guard the Princess and not allow Michael or his men hear her. He also tells the Marshal that he is leaving Strelsau for a few days and he will send a message to him every evening. If he doesn’t get a message for three days, he has the authority to say that he is now the head of Strelsau. He must then ask the Duke to allow him to see the King. If he doesn’t see the King in twenty-four hours, he must say that the King’s dead. Then he must tell the people of Ruritania that their new ruler will be Princess Flavia.

8Chapter .se questionsAnswer the. A

1. Where does Rassendyll wait for it to be two o’clock? He waits by the drawbridge gate next to the castle. 2. Rassendyll has asked Antoinette to cry for help at two o’clock. Why does she do it earlier? Because she is being attacked by Rupert. He wants to punish her for writing to Rassendyll. 3. Why does Rassendyll kill De Gautet with a sword and not with a gun? Because he doesn’t want to make any noise and attract other people. 4. How does Rassendyll get the keys to the King’s prison? He takes them from De Gautet’s clothes after he kills him. 5. Who gets killed in the first room of the King’s prison? Who gets killed in the room where the King is? Who gets wounded? Bersonin gets killed in the first room. In the room where the King is, the doctor is killed by Detchard, and Detchard is killed by Rassendyll. The King and Rassendyll are both wounded. 6. Why doesn’t the King fight Detchard directly? How does he help Rassendyll? The King is weak from illness and in chains. He can’t move much because of the chains. He helps Rassendyll by pushing a chair into Detchard as he is fighting. (This makes him lose his balance and fall over the doctor’s body. Then it is easy for Rassendyll to kill him.) 7. Who kills the Duke?.Rupert Hentzau. 8. Why does Rupert ride away instead of fighting Rassendyll? Because Fritz comes with a gun and Rupert knows he can’t fight both of them. (A gun can kill from a distance. Fritz can kill Rupert from a distance before Rupert can kill Rassendyll with a sword.) 9. How does the boy make a problem for Sapt, Fritz and Rassendyll? Why does Sapt tell the Princess to come alone to see the King behind the tree? The boy runs out and says the King is behind the tree, but Strakencz and the Princess think that the King is in the castle. Sapt has a problem to explain this. He asks the Princess to come alone because he doesn’t want Marshal Strakenczto know about Rassendyll. 10. Why does Sapt have the real King taken from his prison with his face covered? What do Sapt’s men and the servants think happened to the King and to the prisoner? Why does Rassendyll wait in the forest until dark to go to the castle? Sapt doesn’t want his men or the servants to see who the prisoner really is. They think that the King was wounded in the fight to rescue the prisoner, and that the prisoner went after Rupert Hentzau. Rassendyll waits until hecan go into the castle under the cover of dark. He doesn’t want anyone to see him. 11. How does Rassendyll teach the King how to be a real king? He takes his responsibilities as King seriously and tries to run the country well. He risks his own life to rescue the King, could have remained King. 12. What does Rassendyll mean when he writes “Nobody knew where Rupert had disappeared to, and the thought of the man who had almost beaten me still makes my heart beat louder in my chest”? It means when he thinks of Rupert he gets excited or angry. He wishes he could find him and fight him. 13. Do you think Rassendyll was right to pretend to be the King for the coronation? Was he right to continue to pretend to be the King for so long? 14. Why doesn’t Rassendyll remain the King? If he was a wiser and better ruler than the real King, would it be wrong for him to remain King? 15. What does Rassendyll learn from his adventures? He learns responsibility, how to do the (morally) right thing.
