Parcel: Or perhaps wooden boxes? Whichever. Those things filled with counterfeit money bills dropped onto Mystery Moor from a plane flying in from France. Those things found by chance by the Five.

Whistle: I think I'm right (I know Rob will be able to correct me if I'm not) that this is in Adventure of the Strange Ruby — Pat has a special way of whistling that he uses to catch the attention of the kidnapped twins, Faith and David, as they're being held prisoner in Brinkin Towers.

Train: The train that Hop drives in The Enid Blyton Book of Brownies, which has a "Go fast" wheel but doesn't appear to have any brakes:
"The train tore downhill again, then up and then down once more. The carriages followed in a rattling row, while all the passengers shrieked and shouted. Stations raced by, but the train didn't seem to think of stopping anywhere."

Re: Random words to Blyton Worlds
Toad: One of my favourite Enid Blyton poems, The Friendly Toad:
I am a toad, a friendly thing,
I eat your slugs and flies,
I know I'm ugly, brown and squat -
But have you seen my eyes?
Just look at them, like jewels rare,
Gleaming in my head,
I watch you with them as I sit
Upon your garden bed.
Please like me, little boy and girl,
I can't help how I grew,
I've got to be a toad, you know,
And you've got to be you!

Carriage: The carriages the Adventure children slept in on their way to Scotland with the strange "Dr Walker" and how Lucy-Ann didn't like going from one carriage to the next in case they suddenly parted company. (I remember feeling a bit like that when I was a bit younger than Lucy-Ann!)
