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)

In The Secret island Nora grabbed a chunk of cheese from the kitchen table as the children left the house for the last time.

As it has been a while I will try to begin anew...

Miss Theobald gives all new students a memorable talk.
True or False?
Bill: "I don't know what to say. You're only kids — but you're the finest company of friends anyone could have. You know the meaning of loyalty already, and even if you're scared you don't give up. I'm proud to have you for my friends."

I think it is false, as I remember Miss Grayling having such a talk to Darrell and her peers in Malory Towers.

Actually I think this is False - as the name was 'Roker's Vale' (unless Courtenay made a typo!) ;-)

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

Ooer, that was meant to be a false name, not a typo. I must not have seen Farwa's post at the time, or I would have said that was incorrect and posted a new question. But she hasn't been around for a fair while as far as I know, so I'm happy for the game to continue with it being Daisy's turn.

I'll try false.
