Post by pete9012S »

Can you name these people who appeared in the Find Outers books, (if they are named) and also the book they appear in?

If the bottom row is an odd one out, then number 8 is certainly the outlier. :)
Is that Zoe Markham, when the children stay for tea with her and Boysie?

Number 2 looks like Guy Fawkes. Is he one of the waxwork figures in The Mystery of the Missing Necklace?

Number 7 might be Lady Candling or Miss Trimble. I think both appear in The Mystery of the Disappearing Cat and one or two other books as well.

Miss Trimble wore ordinary glasses which often ‘fell off’ so I think that can’t be her.

Number 1 or 5 - probably number 5? - might be Mrs Minns, Mr Hick's housekeeper in Burnt Cottage?

Number 2 was a clever choice, Pete.
And very well worked out, Anita.
I was puzzled as to who the heck it could be!? :lol:

Ah, she was number 1. I edged my bets (and Daisy) going for two numbers for her, but was thinking 5 was more likely for some reason.

Good point.

Number 5 might be Mrs. Moon from The Mystery of the Spiteful Letters.

Is 3 Mr Trotteville senior - Fatty's dad? I seem to recall him being hauled out of bed for something.

That's a great call, Splodj.
The only one I could think of in pyjamas was Mr Fellows, and it didn't look like him. But you're right, Mr Trotterville gets hauled out of bed in "Invisible Thief", when Buster barks at Mr Goon examining the property when he gets the 'Trotvill next' message.

Is number 4 maybe the bad tempered man Fatty sits next to on the bus in Spiteful Letters?
