A tough decision (isn't t always?) but the winner is.....
Rob's "Mr Goon's Train Guard disguise seemed to have fooled everyone, but Fatty, gazing from the train as he waved to Daisy and Larry, realised his disguise was even better."
Well done, Rob. Your turn

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)

Even at school Theresa was strong and stable but often fell over at the end.
