Re: Hangman
Cheers, Dave and Courtenay. From the position of the comma I realised it was likely to be ---------, the --------- so I just let the possibilities run through my mind.

Re: Hangman
How about an R?
(By the way, Anita, out of interest — where does "Coriolanus, the Exile" come from? I can't find him in the Cave.)

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)

Re: Hangman
Thank you for asking, Courtenay. I have been wondering the same thing. Do let us know, Anita.

Re: Hangman
I've got 'Coriolanus, the Exile' in Stories From World History Retold - Tales of the Romans, though it also appeared in The Teachers World [sic]. It is listed in the Cave but Coriolanus has been mistyped as 'Corialanus'!

Re: Hangman
Thanks, Anita but I have no idea how you guessed the answer without a single letter!

Re: Hangman
Just one A:
_ _ _ E/ _ A _ E/ _ _ _/ _ _/ S _ O _
Not in it: T, R
As I said, I was able to solve Dave's puzzle because I looked at the structure -------------, /- - -/ -------------- and worked out that the middle word could well be "the". That gave me a pattern to follow - Shadow, the Sheep-Dog or Ticklem-Up, the Gnome or Mighty-0ne, the Wizard - but I rejected all of those because they didn't fit. At last I thought of something that did fit - Coriolanus, the Exile.

Re: Hangman
L, please.
By the way, where does “Coriolanus, the Exile” come from? I don’t recall seeing this title or quotation in any of the Enid Blyton books in my collection. Perhaps I’m missing something.
