Re: Blyton Quotation - Where is it From?
I wanted to guess before but I couldn't remember the person's name! The old man who disagrees with Mr Hick in The Mystery of the Burnt Cottage (when Fatty and Pip break in to return his shoe.)

Re: Blyton Quotation - Where is it From?
Sorry, it is not George and it is not the man from "Burnt Cottage."
The dashes are for "he/she" as the person's name is mentioned just before the quote.

Is it Mr Stick to Julian who goes to look for some supper in Five Run Away Together?

I think it's Mr Marvel speaking to Snubby in The Rubadub Mystery.

Re: Blyton Quotation - Where is it From?
Yes, Eddie, you are correct!
It is indeed Mr Marvel speaking to Snubby in Rubadub Mystery.
Your turn.

Thank you, Snugglepot.
Here's the next one:
They went up the tiny stair and found themselves on the top of the tower, its battlemented edge rising a few feet all round.

Re: Blyton Quotation - Where is it From?
Correct, Fiona. It was the first book I took from the bookcase and the quotation was on the first page I opened.
Your turn.

Re: Blyton Quotation - Where is it From?
Thanks. I'll grab a random book from my shelf when I get home from work and post a new one.

Slightly later than promised but here's a new one:

Re: Blyton Quotation - Where is it From?
It sounds familiar... and Snubby comes to mind... could it be his Uncle Richard speaking in either Rilloby Fair or Ring o' Bells? I'll plump for the latter!

It does sound like the sort of thing that grouchy Mr Lynton would say but it's not him!
