Five Get Into Trouble
Good old Timmy! But the five were in incredible danger in this adventure - those crooks could have got really nasty and disposed of the lot of them.
Chilling - A very good thing Julian was able to butter up Aggie the housekeeper.

When you say sneakier, Pete, do you mean it's not from one of the 21 books? I was thinking maybe Smugglers Top.

I guess that could be Ragamuffin Jo, but I don't remember Julian catching her climbing up the ivy, in Fall into Adventure.
