Old Clear Orf he looked in his shed,
Expecting to see the cat's bed,
'Tis loving and giving that makes life worth living.

But the bed was not there,
In it's place lay a bear

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

"And wasn't that a shame for poor old Clear orf, children? What's that Nigel? 'no it wasn't a shame'? - well, really, Nigel - I think you're being very hard on poor Mr Policeman, isn't he, children? What? Oh - Nigel - please - Don't do that!"
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)

Now that old Clear Orf has got no head
Julian gave an exclamation and nudged George.
"See that? It's the black Bentley again. KMF 102!"
