"Excuse me, I'm off to the loo."
"It's the ash! It's falling!" yelled Julian, almost startling Dick out of his wits...
"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.

Me too. I had a tear in my eye when I read it as well.pete9012S wrote:Moonraker wrote:

Who would would have thought that a much disliked person would have tears shed after his death?

"Dick, why don't you take charge on this one? I need a rest!" Julian said, laying back with his hands behind his head.

As the Jackson family listened silently to the report of the sinking of their father's ship, they were instantly reminded of the sinking of the Titanic many years before hand. How thankful they were that Michael was in their family, at least with a name like his he was destined for a life of fame and fortune.
The children of Cherry Tree Farm looked out of the window, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the removal vans. They were looking forward to their move to the city. How they had hated their life in the country, all those noisy, smelly animals and fresh air. They had been so bored in the countryside with no one to talk to except a strange wild man.

As it was top secret and dangerous in the wrong hands, Quentin decided NOT to show his work to the stranger he barely knew.
After extensive searching, the children were forced to admit that yet again there was no secret passage in the house they were staying.

Actually in the second Hanni und Nanni film (St Clare's) Mam'zelle replaces Miss Theobald who has to leave school because of a private business for a short while...Lawrie wrote:"And as we bid good-bye to Miss Grayling and wish her a long and happy retirement, we welcome our new headmistress of Malory Towers - Mam'zelle Dupont."

"Children,would you like to take your tents and lots of food and other goodies and camp out on Kirrin Island for a few days?" asked Aunt Fanny."Thanks awfully Aunt Fanny, replied Julian,"it is so good of you to think of us,but we'd all much rather hang out around Kirrin bus stop with Sid the paper boy each night with our alcopops ginger beer."
" A kind heart always brings its own reward," said Mrs. Lee.
