Yes he did - My mistake there. I was thinking of the three that he yelled by name when they had attacked Timmy.

Re: Famous Five Books - a Quiz
No problem. I don't know how many of the seven names I can remember at this point. Let's see; Hal, Rafe, Doon, Joll, Bob..... two missing if those are actually right.

Re: Famous Five Books - a Quiz
Only one?? I'm pretty sure I've got at least three of those right.

Re: Famous Five Books - a Quiz
It's been a long time since someone posted. Do you want to ask the next question Daisy as it seems to be your turn? (And I don't have a question ready a the moment).

Re: Famous Five Books - a Quiz
I was waiting for confirmation .. and then of course forgot to keep checking, but as you say, it is a while now!

Re: Famous Five Books - a Quiz
Sometimes my brain gets it right! (Though I did swither between WilTon and WilSon for a moment or two!)
And then it lets me down. I was going to ask "What type of tree falls on Kirrin Cottage in Smuggler's Top?" and then I remembered that the answer is in my signature. So, back to the drawing board.
In which books does George use her proper first name to outwit the bad guys?
