Thanks so much to everyone who participated in last month's contest!  The question was:

In Crimson Rose, Miss Gwen and Jane disguise themselves under the aliases:

a) Mme. Phantome and her ward, Mlle Secrete
b) Mrs. Ernestine Grimstone and her niece, Miss Gilly Fairley
c) Mrs. Selwick-Alderly and her companion, Miss Eloise Kelly
d) Mrs. Fustian and her daughter, Miss Fustian

And the answer is....  D.

In "Seduction of the Crimson Rose", Jane and Miss Gwen don their disguises as the vulgar Mrs. Fustian and her awkward daughter Miss Fustian in the hopes of surprising the Black Tulip at Vauxhall Gardens.  Even in disguise, however, Miss Gwen absolutely refuses to relinquish her parasol.

To those of you who chose B, you were almost right.  In "The Deception of the Emerald Ring," Jane and Miss Gwen operated as the forbidding Mrs. Grimstone and her giddy neice Miss Gilly Fairley.  Those two really get around.

Our winners, chosen from among the correct answers, are:

Laura Fogarty
Ellen Warner
Margaret X

Check in next month for a chance to win a copy of "Crimson Rose"!
