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)

Even Goon joined in the good cheer!
(It was his New Year's resolution to be nice to the Find-Outers — mainly in the hope that their friend Superintendent Jenks might finally consider him for a promotion — but it didn't last a week. )

This seems to have been forgotten so I've finished it off.
So after a week had gone by,
Goon came down to earth from his 'high',
His temper returned
And his anger still burned
So promotion was still far from nigh.
