She spent a little while finding the best place to lay blame.

That's Lawrie for you!

Delurking to say this is *brilliant* - you have the Blyton and the Forest voices down perfectly. Am a huge Blyton reader and it's so good to see the Five interacting with the Marlows. Especially that pompous sexist ass Julian seen through hardy Nicola eyes. Great stuff, can't wait to read the rest.

Thank you! Perhaps Julian is the kind of son EB would have liked to have had ...

This is absolutely brilliant. I adore the skewering of the Five, and their bizarre little world, and Dick and Julian's exchange about school had me fallling off my chair with laughter. Lawrie is wonderful, they're all wonderful, and the Sinister Stranger and Rodney Stone are fabulous.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

I love the fact that Lawrie offered to do the balcony scene 'modestly' - clearly the modesty was very good acting too, hehe!

Thank you, this is brilliant and I am so looking forward to more.

Dear Lawrie. So writeable.

I keep seeing more gems -
" grown ups seldom took anything like enough notice of her"

I'm enjoying this! Very funny, and I like the way that you deal with the issues arising from the two universes' dissimilarities, especially the attitudes to being a boy v. being a girl.

The interesting thing is that AF's Autumn Term and EB's first FFs were all written in the 40s. So AF and EB were occupying similar worlds and yet they were so different in their outlooks and attitudes.
