frankie Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share 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...

Janet Posted November 4, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Sara. Posted November 5, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
