Find-Outers Series Quiz

[Yak]

Yes, over to you

[Courtenay]

Thanks.

In which book do the Find-Outers first meet Ern Goon?

[Bertie]

I've just finished another re-read of it - Hidden House.

Love that book - clever story, and great humour with the introduction of Ern and all the 'portry'. Also Fatty's shed seems to become much cosier and the main meeting place from around that book onwards.

[Courtenay]

SwatIsaid! Well done, Bertie — over to you (and don't goanborlyered).

[Bertie]

Thanks, Courtenay.

Sticking with Hidden House, what was the name of Mr Goon's chatterbox neighbour who sticks up for Ern?

[Yak]

Argh - I can remember the exchange but not the name .

[Anjalli]

Mrs. Murray.

[Bertie]

Well remembered, Anjalli.
Your turn.

[Anjalli]

Thank you Bertie.

New question:

In 'Holly Lane' when Fatty was disguised as a woman to go and sell the sale ticket to Mr. Goon, he had a handbag. What was in it?

[Yak]

a scented hankie?

[Anjalli]

Hi Yak, a handkerchief is one of them although it did not say scented. There are two more items, see if you can come up with them.

[Yak]

Something to powder his nose with I think but I can't remember the other - a purse maybe?

[Anjalli]

Ok Yak, I'll give it to you. It was a handkerchief, a powder compact and a few hairpins. Over to you.

[Yak]

Ah - hairpins, a purse, same thing

Name two of the presents that the children took to Gladys?

[Bertie]

There was a bag of sweets, and a brooch and some hankies - one of the last two had the letter G on them, but I can't remember which?
