It's also the scene on the front cover, when the children are loading or unloading the boat of baskets. Very good book!!
:lol: I said it was from island in my original Q. But you got the right answer it was sixpence :D
I would definatly agree with the last comment though as this is my favourite EB book!

Ok, I seem to have stumped eveyone :lol: So here's the scene it's from to see if it jogs anyones memories.....
"It's Dinner-time," said Peggy. "Have you found anything interesting in the diary, Jack?"
"No," said Jack. "It's all about how he goes birds'-nesting and fishing and boating.He must have been a nice sort of boy. He was a great one for playing tricks on people too. It says here how he put a **** into his aunt's bed, and she woke the whole house up to get it out."
"Naughty boy," said Peggy. "That poor old ****! It must have hated being squashed under the bedclothes. What else does it say?"
Q, What did Dimmy's grandfather put in his Aunt's bed?
