The Ladies in the Famous Five's life...
The Famous Five met some stunning ladies on their travels.
Here's seven... Can you name them (if they are named in the books) and say which book they appear in?
Of course you may confer and work as a team - have another guess after someone else has had a go.

I think D is the lady in Five on a Hike who lives in the farmhouse Dick and Anne stumble across when they get lost.
F is Mrs Layman? Wilfrid's grandmother/aunt from Five Have a Mystery to Solve.

Re: The Ladies in the Famous Five's life...
B = Dirty Dick's mother (or was she wife?) in Five on a Hike Together?
[Edit] - having seen the answer to D, then (unless you're being very tricky!) I presume that's wrong.

B) Mrs. Jane's from Billycock Hill.
The Chief looked at Fatty. "Brains are good, courage is excellent, resourcefulness is rare," he said, "but generosity crowns everything, Frederick. One of these days I'll be proud of you!" - "Vanished Prince".
