Find-Outers Series Quiz

[Courtenay]

Correct, Eddie. Your turn.

[Eddie Muir]

Thanks, Courtenay.

What is the name of the boatman in The Mystery of the Strange Bundle?

[Eddie Muir]

Anyone?

[Daisy]

Well I can't really remember - was it something like Grimble?

[Eddie Muir]

Not Grimble, Daisy.

Mr Grimble was the old gardener in The Mystery of the Strange Messages.

Any other guesses?

[Eddie Muir]

A clue:

His name begins with S.

[snugglepot]

Does the S start his first name or his surname?

I'll take a guess and say Stephens?

[Eddie Muir]

It’s his surname that starts with S, but it’s not Stephens, Snugglepot.

[Yak]

I've just finished reading it recently but I can't remember at all.

[Eddie Muir]

Does anyone remember the boatman’s name?

[Daisy]

It doesn't look like it. I can only think of something like Squires.

[Eddie Muir]

It wasn’t Squires, Daisy. It was Spicer.

Now, I’ll set an easier question:

Who had a talking doll called Bobby-Boy?

[Yak]

Oh boy. Ventriloquist in Vanished Prince. Name that sounds Greek. Begins with E. Can't remember more than that but I will probably wake at two in the morning shouting the name (that will surprise next door, I suppose).

My guess is .. Eurcyles?

[Eddie Muir]

Correct, but it was Strange Bundle not Vanished Prince.

Well done. Your question.

[Yak]

Heh I realised I'd got the book wrong about twenty mins later

Hmm. How much did Larry say a replacement window leather would be in Holly Lane?
