My Famous Five launch.

Anyway, this is work well

could you upload it to your room?

And I do not hear you, how

agreement?. Excellent.

Hello, dear!

My name is Enid Blyton. Enter.

Welcome to my tea party of

Famous Five. You must be hungry.

- Have you brought all caps

your milk bottles? - Yes

Wonderful.

Who are these two girls

the stairs, Miss?

- Oh, these are my girls.

- Are not invited to the party, Miss Blyton?

Oh, no. No, they see me

all day, every day.

Its totally boring

silly old mom. You know,

I have to search my site

work between trips to the beach

picnics, games, and all those

things that children love to do.

Do not you love the gelatin

Raspberry? Delicious.

Do not you love how he dances in the mouth?

Now.

Have you remembered to bring

the caps of bottles

- Milk for poor children

Great Ormond Street? - Yes!

My God, have worked hard.

You know that last year earned more

money that the Minister of Economy?

I have published 23 books.

Good for you.

- How did the tea party?

- Wonderful.

- By the way, where have you been?

- I went to the pub.

It is not a crime right?

No.

No, of course not.

No, the party was a great success.

We ate each

bit of gelatin.

We are about

go to war, Enid.

Stop talking as always

same, Hugh, is very depressing.

- The reality usually is.

- Really?

- I thought you would be too dull

as to realize. - Oh, forgive me.

Maybe we should beat us

raspberry jelly

flagellate with ginger beer,

like you and your little fans.

They are not my fans, they are my friends.

- They are children, for the love of God!

- I get bored, Hugh, and you're drunk.

We are about to enter

war! Are you worried remotely?

Hell, no, let's stay with

Five famous right?

If you are going to be so

unpleasant, rather

to sleep on the

guest room, Hugh.

Cool. I will.

Miss Blyton, you are

probably the writer

Children's most famous

of all time.

Actually, I describe

myself as an author

Which happens ... you type

for children. - Of course, forgive me.

I wonder if we

count, Miss Blyton, which

believed to be the secret to

extraordinary success.

Well, it really is very simple.

"I can enter the

world of a child you know? "

"I understand that instinctively

children want a story. "

"They do not want brutality

poverty or violence. "

"No, they want familiarity,

want comfort. "

"And above all, want to escape ..."

"A magical world

adventures without their parents. "

Well, you yourself have two daughters.

How manages to combine

motherhood with writing?

How many words in a day?

- Six thousand.

- God!

I think that Trollope wrote

More or less the same.

- Really?

- No.

I have of course

to juggle.

But children need their mothers.

Mothers are

heart of any home.

"No, I try and get it, spend

much time with my girls, "

"While I meet

my professional duties. "

It is difficult, but I think I make do.

I am sure that

ago. Thank you, Miss Blyton.

Yes, yes, of course.

No, no, I understand.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Enid, I'm afraid I must go.

What?

They asked me to make me

by the military in Surrey.

- Why Surrey?

- Because that's where I've been asked

I go, Enid. This is where my

old regiment is established.

You could have said no.

Why did not you tell them no?

Because there is a damn

war going on!

Oh, I see.

You did not have the guts to

explain that you had

responsibilities

you have a family.

It is so typical, Hugh

Totally inconsiderate

totally selfish!

- What about us?

- Not everything is about you.

You can not leave your family no more!

This is ridiculous!

I'm not leaving anybody.

I have a duty to perform.

- You have a house full of

things to do. You have to Dorothy

jumping in the morning, noon and night.

- Okay.

Go then! Long! Go to Surrey!

Abandnanos, let

fix us alone!

# On the farm, every Friday

# On the farm, is the

day of rabbit pie,

# So, each Friday when it arrives,

# I get up early and

sing the little song

# Rabbit runs, rabbit

run, run, run, run

# Rabbit run, run rabbit

# Run, run, run

# Bang, bang, bang, it sounds

farmer's gun. #

"Hugh?

'Vuesto father is gone. "

'You're lying. "

'Daddy will never leave me. "

'I said I was the most

important in the world for him. "

"The little boy who came to live in

next door was not a pleasant child. "

"Never let children

join their games. "

"He was reserved and spoilers,

and only thinking of himself. "

"So the children

decided to punish him. "

It's pretty sweet, right?

Yes No I admire them too.

If you want to put names,

should be "Ration Meat

Bunny # 1 "and" Serving

rabbit meat 2. "

But Mommy, I do not want

we eat our rabbits!

We may have to do it.

Give it back to the hutch, and

continue with the garden, right?

- What are we planting today?

- Pinto beans, Mommy.

Delicious! What else?

I thought we had put

carrots and radishes here ...

Madam, a gentleman

are here to see it.

My God, is now the time?

It is an honor and a pleasure.

Oh, well.

What a relief.

Anyone want something to drink?

No.

Obviously, not flirteara you.

Why obviously?
