Yes he did - My mistake there. I was thinking of the three that he yelled by name when they had attacked Timmy.

No problem. I don't know how many of the seven names I can remember at this point. Let's see; Hal, Rafe, Doon, Joll, Bob..... two missing if those are actually right.

Only one?? I'm pretty sure I've got at least three of those right.

Sorry, one of the three that I had in mind of the ones that Morgan had to call off when they turned on Timmy.

It's been a long time since someone posted. Do you want to ask the next question Daisy as it seems to be your turn? (And I don't have a question ready a the moment).

I was waiting for confirmation .. and then of course forgot to keep checking, but as you say, it is a while now!

Right... name the two "artists" lodging at Kirrin Farm in Five go Adventuring Again.

Dredging into my memory... Wilson and Thomas?

Sometimes my brain gets it right! (Though I did swither between WilTon and WilSon for a moment or two!)

And then it lets me down. I was going to ask "What type of tree falls on Kirrin Cottage in Smuggler's Top?" and then I remembered that the answer is in my signature. So, back to the drawing board.

In which books does George use her proper first name to outwit the bad guys?

I thought this happened in two or even three books...or am I mistaken?

I'll say Five On A Treasure Island...

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

It does indeed, which is why I asked "which bookS".
