The Enid Blyton Society

Another good guess. It is a Mrs, but not from any of The Famous Five Books.

Aunt Allie from the Adventure series?

Mrs. Pepper in Put Em Rights...I think. Read it just a while ago but cannot besure if it was Mrs. Pepper or Mrs. Jones who said it to the other.

I can't believe it's over a year since my post.... I think you are right Shanku... we'll wait for Pete to notice this now!

Correct - very well done and over to you!

" Oh," said Mrs. Jones, her face growing lighter. " Oh ! Do
you really mean—you're not going to say a word to anyone ? No
one will know ? "
" Not a soul," said Mrs. Pepper. " I'm not one to gossip
round, never have been, and I'm not going to start now."

Thanks Pete!

Okay here is a new one:


"... - and I'm not going to leave you, sir, either, when you've given me my first chance".

Oh wow Shanku... that's a head scratcher!

Ooer, that sounds familiar, but I can't quite think where I've read it...

Is it from one of the Lutterworth books?

No

Jimmy to Mr Galliano in Mr Galliano's Circus?

Or possibly Hurrah For the Circus...

Is it Noddy in Hurrah for little Noddy to Mr Golly the garage owner?

Over to you Rob

Oh - wow! I didn't think I was right!


Here's my quotation - its actually the opening line of a book!

"Three very excited children bumped along a rough country lane in a farmer's cart..."

No wonder that last one sounded familiar... it's obviously too long since I last re-read the Galliano books!! Well done, Rob.

As for the new one... is it The Children of Cherry-Tree Farm?
