Q:On whom was the ventriloquism trick played on in Holly Lane?

Correct on all points.

As for the ventriloquism trick, Fatty tried it first on Bets when she was keeping him company after his illness, then he tried it on Goon, first in the house on Holly lane, then in the café.

Ah, but wasn't that particular episode in TMOT Strange Bundle, not Holly Lane?

Ah, wrong book! I thought it was too easy to be true!
Was this when he used it on that horrible little boy who stole Buster for Goon and lied about it?

Hmmm, don't have either Strange Bundle or Holly Lane on hand, though I know I've read them both years ago, so I can't confirm! Maybe one of our resident Find-Outers experts can throw light on the question.

Yes, that was the occasion in Holly Lane.
As Courtenay points out - the VERY first time Fatty tried ventriloquism, was in Strange Bundle when Bets visited him.

Actually, I was the one who said it first. Courtenay just reminded me I had the wrong book.

Next one;

What trick did Antoinette play on the 5th formers when she was working in their study?

Antoniette tried to get back at Angela and played tricks like putting shoe cream on their toast, and cleaning Angela's shoes with her very expensive face cream

Correct! (How I laughed at that in the book. I loved Antoinette getting revenge on Angela)

What was the trick that Bobby plays on Mamzelle-- in the second form--- at the dining table-- and that too when Miss Theobald was there?

a bladder thingy.

Not exactly--- a clue-- it's something to do with crockery

A dancing plate, with the help of a pump hidden under the table cloth.

Well, there has been no question, here's one-

What trick did Dora and Daphne Lacey play on every single person in St. Clares?

That's in one of the Pamela Cox fill-ins, isnt it! I believe only one girl turned up and then they swapped over for a while until they were found out. I forget the details now and why they did it in the first place.
