Sorry again, Rob, but it is not Twigg, either.
A clue; This character is the villain of the book and events bring him to confess his wrongdoings

I only read that a few months ago, too! :lol:
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)

Oops very sorry. I completely forgot. :oops: To make matters worse I'm away for a few days and have no access to Blyton's books. I'll have to try one from memory and hope it's correct.

"It's blackberry tea" said ----. "It's good for colds so if anyone was about to get a cold now they won't ".

Hopefully that's recognisable. If not tell me and I'll have to pass the turn to someone else.

That's Janet in The Secret Seven, but I think it's blackcurrant tea.

Yes well done Anita. I did suspect it was black currant but as my phone refuses to type that word and I wasn't sure anyway I left it at blackberry.

Over to you. :D

Thanks, John. Maybe your phone is a Blackberry! :wink:

No, it isn't Ruth in Holiday House.
