Thank you, Snugglepot. :D

In The Mystery of Holly Lane, what is the name of the farmer whose sheep are worried by dogs?

Might a clue, such as the first letter of this sheep-farmer's name, jog someone's memory?

While my recall of the names of minor characters is :oops: poor, (especially if they aren't referred to by name repeatedly throughout the book), there are folk here with much better memories......

He is referred to as Farmer M------ in the book, Aurélien. I hope this clue helps. :D

I'm surprised that no one knows the answer to this one. :roll:

Another clue: Fields :wink:

Thanks for the second clue, Eddie. Might that farmer's name be Meadows?

Many thanks, Eddie. :D

In which FFO + Dog book do these interesting lines appear? (The end of one sentence, and the whole of the next sentence have been omitted, to add to the, *ahem* fun. :roll: )

Everyone wanted to come, of course. So they all clambered over the wall,..... ..... Only Buster was left on the wrong side of the wall, tied up to a tree. He barked frantically and almost strangled himself trying to get free, but he couldn't.

I think the lines appear in The Mystery of the Disappearing Cat, Aurélien, and the missing end of one sentence and the whole of the next sentence are about Luke. :D

:D Absolutely spot-on answer, Eddie. Over to you. :D

(Anyone wishing to read the full paragraph will find it in Chapter XVIII of 'TMOT Disappearing Cat'.)
