frankie Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Pretty sure it's not Enid Blyton as there is no mention of ginger beer! Far too grown up too. Yeah, you're right. It was just what popped into mind first I also thought of Agatha Christie but decided to leave that as back-up But poppyshake's been to my back-up closet... Quote
poppyshake Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 But poppyshake's been to my back-up closet... I've been rummaging Quote
frankie Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 I can see that! It's so very unclean now... and I can smell bacon and toast! Quote
poppyshake Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I can see that! It's so very unclean now... and I can smell bacon and toast! It's always a dead giveaway Quote
Janet Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Nope, not Agatha Christie. Another quote:“Why did dogs make one want to cry? There was something so quiet and hopeless about their sympathy. Xxxxxx, knowing something was wrong, as dogs always do. Trunks being packed. Cars being brought to the door. Dogs standing with drooping tails, dejected eyes. Wandering back to their baskets in the hall when the sound of the car dies away.” Quote
chaliepud Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I think I recognise that (after all it has dogs in it!) Is it Rebecca? Quote
frankie Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 A very sad quote. Doggies who are not happy, doggies who have to part with people Quote
frankie Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Wow, great job chalie! You know your doggy quotes Quote

I have read it and I didn't remember the toast quote well done chalie Well, at least you have another to add to your Toast Quotes book! Ok, here's another.. It was the end of September and cold. He smelled burning wood one evening as he walked the wagon trail. As he got closer, he saw smoke rising from their chimney and then ***** was standing in the doorway, her hands on her swollen belly. ******* had never seen anything so welcoming. Quote
frankie Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 I have no idea, doesn't sound like something I've read, but Little House on the Prairie comes to mind... Quote
chesilbeach Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I usually have no idea and just google the quotes and watch everyone else guess, but I think I might have a guess as this one as it sounds familiar and I might have read it. Is it The Snow Child? Quote
chesilbeach Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Wow, impressed with myself! Ok, here's the next one ... She remembered. After all these years. And yet he had lived out his ordinary life as if what she had done meant nothing. He hadn't tried to stop her. He hadn't followed. He hadn't even said goodbye. Quote
poppyshake Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Ooh not ringing bells sounds dead interesting though Is it by Ali Smith? Quote

Sara. Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 ˝You just go in with your duffle bag apparently full, a pair of old plimsolls on the top, go up to the book section and stuff as many books as you like in the bag. Put the plimsolls back on top, sling the bag over your shoulder, then go up and buy a pencil or something. Best when the shop´s really busy, during break, some time like that. He never, ever notices a thing. I´ve stolen literally hundreds of books that way.˝ Quote
