Correct on all points.

As for the ventriloquism trick, Fatty tried it first on Bets when she was keeping him company after his illness, then he tried it on Goon, first in the house on Holly lane, then in the café.

Ah, but wasn't that particular episode in TMOT Strange Bundle, not Holly Lane?

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)

Ah, wrong book! I thought it was too easy to be true!
Was this when he used it on that horrible little boy who stole Buster for Goon and lied about it?

Hmmm, don't have either Strange Bundle or Holly Lane on hand, though I know I've read them both years ago, so I can't confirm! Maybe one of our resident Find-Outers experts can throw light on the question. :wink:

Yes, that was the occasion in Holly Lane.
As Courtenay points out - the VERY first time Fatty tried ventriloquism, was in Strange Bundle when Bets visited him.

Actually, I was the one who said it first. Courtenay just reminded me I had the wrong book.

Antoniette tried to get back at Angela and played tricks like putting shoe cream on their toast, and cleaning Angela's shoes with her very expensive face cream :) :)

Correct! (How I laughed at that in the book. I loved Antoinette getting revenge on Angela)

That's in one of the Pamela Cox fill-ins, isnt it! I believe only one girl turned up and then they swapped over for a while until they were found out. I forget the details now and why they did it in the first place.
