I think it was supper and Julian took a meat pie and a plate of jam tarts from the pantry and walked out of the kitchen with them. Not sure if the kind of meat was mentioned.

From memory I think a table being turned over was in Five on a Treasure Island - when Julian suggested " playing at wrecks". . It may have recurred in another book of course.Nick wrote:A table being turned over?

Re: Famous Five Books - a Quiz
The question was "what does Uncle Quentin get disturbed at....." not by. On looking it up it seems he has lost some papers and accuses Joan of "tidying them" , then he strides from the study and falls over the children who are kneeling around a map on the floor.
