George and Anne went to the shop,
Where Anne bought a pretty pink top.
George looked with scorn,
"Stuck in a state of permanent pre-pubescence like poor Julian in the Famous Five!"

"For sure you will look like a mop".

With Clopper he had a big fight,

Penruthlan went out in the night,
With Clopper he had a big fight,
He took Clopper's head,
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)

A new one:

There was a young girl called Jo,
'Go down to the side-shows by the river this afternoon. I'll meet you somewhere in disguise. Bet you won't know me!' wrote Fatty.

There was a young girl called Jo,
Who didn't know quite where to go,
Through the window she crept,
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

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)

And searched around looking for dough.
