Q: (CNN) -- If you placed bets on Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch joining the cast of "True Detective," it's time to collect your winnings.

After weeks of rumors, HBO has confirmed that McAdams, Kitsch and Kelly Reilly will also star in the second season of the network's acclaimed drama.

HBO, which shares a parent company with CNN, announced in September that Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn were going to be "True Detective's" season 2 leads.

The series, created and written by Nic Pizzolatto, follows a new story each season.

Its first season, which premiered earlier this year, focused on two detectives embroiled in a years-long hunt for a serial killer. It was an immediate hit, and at the 2014 Emmys "True Detective" picked up 12 nominations. That included two best lead actor in a drama nods for stars Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

The second season still involves detective work, but this time around the story is set in California. According to HBO, this season "three police officers and a career criminal must navigate a web of conspiracy in the aftermath of a murder."

Colin Farrell plays a "compromised detective" named Ray Velcoro, "whose allegiances are torn between his masters in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owns him." Vaughn stars as a criminal and entrepreneur named Frank Semyon, who's "in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner."

"Sherlock Holmes" actress Kelly Reilly will play the wife of Vaughn's character, and Rachel McAdams will play a county sheriff named Ani Bezzerides, whose "uncompromising ethics put her at odds with others and the system she serves."

Q: Chapter IX

Nobble

During the two days which Dick and Caldigate spent together in Melbourne Mrs. Smith's name was not mentioned between them. They were particularly civil each to the other and went to work together, making arrangements at a bank as to their money, taking their places, despatching their luggage, and sorting their belongings as though there had been no such woman as Mrs. Smith on board the Goldfinder. Dick, though he had been inclined to grumble when his mystery had been taken out of his hands,--who had, of course, been jealous when he saw that the lady had discarded her old hat and put on new ribbons, not for him, but for another,--was too conscious of the desolation to which he would be subjected by quarrelling with his friend. He felt himself unable to go alone, and was therefore willing that the bygones of the ship should be bygones. Caldigate, on the other hand, acknowledged to himself that he owed some reparation to his companion. Of course he had not bound himself to any special mode of life;--but had he, in his present condition, allied himself more closely to Mrs. Smith, he would, to some extent, have thrown Dick over. And then, as soon as he was on shore, he did feel somewhat ashamed of himself in regard to Mrs. Smith. Was it not manifest that any closer alliance, let the alliance be what it might, must be ruinous to him? As it was, had he not made an absolute fool of himself with Mrs. Smith? Had he not got himself already into a mess from which there was no escape? Of course he must write to her when the month was over. The very weight of his thoughts on this matter made him tamer with Dick and more observant than he would otherwise have been.

Answer the following questions:
1. What woman had been on the Goldfinder?
2. How many days did the friends spend in Melbourne?
3. How many times did they talk about Mrs. Smith during that time?
4. True or False: Caldigate felt that he owed something to Dick.
5. What did he owe?
6. What had Mrs. Smith thrown away?
7. What did she wear that was new?
8. Did she do this for Dick?
9. True or False: Caldigate thought a closer relationship with Mrs. Smith would be disastrous.
10. Who knew he would be lonely if he argued with his friend?
11. Was he inclined to complain?
12. Why?
13. Did the two visit a bank?
14. Did they visit a courthouse?
15. Did Caldigate think he had been silly with the lady?
16. True or False: He felt that any issue caused by this he could easily get out of.
17. When would he send her a letter?
18. Had Caldigate dedicated himself to any set path in life?
