Y, please.

Good choice, Eddie.

I'm sure someone must be close to getting it now...

O, please.

There must be a U.

Someone's got to get it now, surely...

Just one word is puzzling... a "small big boy"? That sounds like a contradiction although it is obviously a sarcastic comment!

It's a line that I thought at least a few people here might recognise — the only hint I'm giving is that it's from one of Enid's most popular stand-alone novels...

Ah.... Robin from the Boy Next Door ... "I'll send you a telegram if I see a small big boy with blue eyes, fair hair - and how many fingers did you say?"

Correct, Daisy! Well done. I chose that one deliberately on the hunch that the unlikely description "small, big boy" would keep people guessing for a bit longer... Your turn now.

Thanks.. Here's another.

Let's start with an E, please.
