Re: Hangman
I'm going to guess...
"Why, it's a rabbit!" cried Tom, astonished. "Where's Mr. Woffles?"
(I don't know which story this is from — at least, it doesn't sound like The Adventurous Four, which is the only one I can think of that has a Tom in it — but "Woffles" is the kind of name Enid would use for a rabbit.)

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

Re: Hangman
You're correct, Courtenay. It comes from the story, "Little Mr. Woffles". Enid also wrote another story called "Where are you, Woffles?" about a rabbit who belonged to a boy named Terrence. Not the same rabbit, though.
Can you explain to me why Enid chose that name for a rabbit? It just down sound apt to me. You can see why Beatrix Potter chose Cottontail. But Woffles

Re: Hangman
Well, in one of the Noddy stories — and I think it's my old favourite Well Done Noddy! — Noddy is writing songs for some of the other toys in Toyland, and this is what he writes for the toy rabbit:Domino wrote: Can you explain to me why Enid chose that name for a rabbit? It just down sound apt to me.You can see why Beatrix Potter chose Cottontail. But Woffles
"Woffly nose
And hoppity feet,
Little Miss Bunny
Is perfectly sweet."
So I assume "Woffles" is Enid's way of referring to a rabbit's fluffy, twitchy nose!
Anyway, if I don't come up with a new one tonight, I will tomorrow! Thanks, Dave.
