Question: CHAPTER XLVI

Our Pet Fox Finds a Tail

Frank returned home, and his immediate business was of course with his father, and with Mr Gazebee, who was still at Greshamsbury.

"But who is the heir?" asked Mr Gazebee, when Frank had explained that the death of Sir Louis rendered unnecessary any immediate legal steps.

"Upon my word I don't know," said Frank.

"You saw Dr Thorne," said the squire. "He must have known."

"I never thought of asking him," said Frank, naively.

Mr Gazebee looked rather solemn. "I wonder at that," said he; "for everything now depends on the hands the property will go into. Let me see; I think Sir Roger had a married sister. Was not that so, Mr Gresham?" And then it occurred for the first time, both to the squire and to his son, that Mary Thorne was the eldest child of this sister. But it never occurred to either of them that Mary could be the baronet's heir.

Dr Thorne came down for a couple of days before the fortnight was over to see his patients, and then returned again to London. But during this short visit he was utterly dumb on the subject of the heir. He called at Greshamsbury to see Lady Arabella, and was even questioned by the squire on the subject. But he obstinately refused to say more than that nothing certain could be known for yet a few days.

Immediately after his return, Frank saw Mary, and told her all that had happened. "I cannot understand my uncle," said she, almost trembling as she stood close to him in her own drawing-room. "He usually hates mysteries, and yet now he is so mysterious. He told me, Frank--that was after I had written that unfortunate letter--" 1. What's the name of the man who had died?

Question: (CNN) -- Another musical titan whose soaring voice ruled the charts for decades has fallen.

Whitney Houston joins an august list of the departed since Michael Jackson's death nearly three years ago.

"First there was MJ, then there was Heavy D and now Whitney," said Shaun Jones, 47, of Titusville, Florida, adding that he jumped out of bed in disbelief when he heard news of Houston's death.

Rapper Heavy D died last year, as did Nick Ashford, who was one half of the Motown duo Ashford and Simpson.

And in late 2010, singer Mary Christine Brockert, better known by her stage name Teena Marie, died in her sleep.

"It's shocking ... all these people are legends. A lot of them are dying too young. It's crazy."

Pop icons such as Houston enjoyed staggering success through the 1980s and into the 1990s, and served as role models to a generation of singers today.

Announcements about their deaths are always almost followed by tributes from younger pop stars acknowledging how much influence they've had on their careers.

"Icons from that era stood out," Jones said. "They had distinct voices -- I can always tell when a song is by Whitney -- they made music back then."

Houston was a "hero for Gen X black girls," said CNN iReporter Tessa Jackson of New Orleans. She said when she was "a black teenager going to a predominantly white high school in California, Whitney was my style icon and hero ... She made me and other girls like me feel like we didn't have to be blonde and blue-eyed to be beautiful and admired. I wish she knew how much she did for my and my friends' self-esteem." 1. Who died in her sleep?
2. In what year?
3. Who died in August?
4. How many years seperate Houston and Jackson's death?
5. Which rapper died last year?
6. Which Motown singer died the same year?
7. What duo did he participate in?
8. What always follows icons' death announcements?
9. Who was Huston a role model for?
10. Who described her as a "style icon and hero"?
11. What is her profession?
12. For which company?
