I would never have guessed the answer without cheating - so I won't play yet! ;-)

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

No? :wink: Can't solve this one either without cheating, so I'll leave it to someone who can.

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)

I've had to look in the Cave as I thought of an animal, but not that one! :|

Yipee!! At last someone has got it - honestly!

I was being a bit naughty here as I was trying to draw attention to a story in the Cave which is there in full with some great illustrations by Hilda McGavin - I am not sure if anybody even knew that it existed!

Over to Moonus for the next one and I can butt out with the help of Courtenay's bull! :lol:

I might have guessed that there was an ulterior motive to drag you into a games thread! What a delightful short story, thanks for drawing our attention to it.

Very well then, supply the missing word:
