Thanks, Eddie. :D

According to Inspector Jenks, why did Mr. Hick quarrel "...with a good many people..." not long before his detatched workroom burned down?

Not needed to win this round, but 2 bonus smilies for anyone who can explain why the blazes Enid Blyton - or perhaps her publishers - called this workroom a COTTAGE!

I am not sure, but did he have all these quarrels so that there would be a lot of people angry with him and they would be suspects in setting the fire?

As to the other question, I am not sure. I only know what a cottage is from watching "Escape to the Country".

You've got it, Snugglepot. Over to you. :D

(Anyone wishing to read the Inspector's exact words will find them in his summing up at the end of 'TMOT Burnt Cottage'.)

Thank you.

In the beginning of "Strange Bundle", which Find-Outer is blamed for starting the flu epidemic that swept through the whole group?

Yes, Eddie, it was Bets. Pip is blaming her in the very first paragraph.

Over to you.

In The Mystery of the Hidden House, what does Ern steal from his uncle (Goon) that Fatty makes him take back?

I know this one, but as I just had a turn, I will wait and let somebody else answer it.

Might it have been one of Ern's dear uncle's police notebooks, which felonious misappropriation shocked all 5 of the thoroughly middle-class Find-Outers to the core?

In 'TMOT Secret Room' who was locked in a dirty cellar and lost his/her headwear?

That would be none other than PC Goon, Aurélien. (And he caught a nasty cold while he was at it, too.)

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)
