Next word: Poker

[Boodi 2]

I have a vague memory that in one of the books Mr. Goon threatened (or actually hit) Buster with a poker, but I cannot remember which mystery it was. In the event that I am correct the next word is Frying Pan

[Bertie]

Yes, quite correct, Boodi. It's in The Mystery of the Pantomime Cat. Goon is yelling at Pippin, and when Buster rushes in and around his ankles Goon actually hits him with the poker! Pippin stands up for Buster, which endears him to Fatty and Buster.

As regards Frying Pan, the first thought that came into mind was Five Have A Wonderful Time, when they're staying in the caravans and Dick fries sausages in a frying pan on a camp fire.
