Guess the Book Meme, round 3: the answers

You've had your bonus week and so it's time I posted the answers to round 3 of Guess the Book.

1. Three million cheers!
   Nancy Blackett, Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome
   
2. I wish you could be happy.
   A perilous wish, but some good may come of it.
   Jane and the leader of the village women, Greenwitch by Susan Cooper
   
3. There's no use trying, one can't believe impossible things.
   I daresay you haven't had much practice. When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

4. Your storm, Thlayli-rah. Use it.

   Jean and Locke, Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch
   
7. That actually worked? Interesting. My high priest didn't think the squirrel's brain would be capable of following such complicated Commands.
   Oh. I mean "Whoops. It completely misunderstood me. Stupid squirrel."
   Lightsong the Brave, Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson
   
8. You have been told to mind you manners, Page Nealan. I will have an apology for your insolence.
   An apology for general insolence, your lordship, or some particular offense?
   Lord Wyldon and Neal, First Test by Tamora Pierce
   
9. And did the mouse squeak under your pillow, and the china dogs bark?

10. He’s wild, you know. Not like a tame lion.
    Mr. Beaver, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis
    

And the winner is... well, there is no winner as apparently this quiz defeated everyone. Or perhaps audience participation is merely down on past years?

Red 7189: Red Arrows over Goodwood 2014

Bonus post!

Today's random film Red 7189 - a fitting identifier, as it's got these chaps in it. This is from a few years back when I spotted that the Red Arrows and the Vulcan were going to display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It was not long after Father's Day which elemnar and I hadn't done anything for yet, so we came up with a sort of delayed Father's Day outing for The Gnu to go and watch it. This was very much planned at the last moment so we didn't actually visit the Festival of Speed, but instead trundled off to The Trundle, an iron age hill fort on the Downs north of Chichester that's well placed to see the display (allegramente posted about it at the time). I brought the F-301 and a couple of rolls of film (though it looks like allegramente may have managed better photos with her cellphone!), and here's the first of the two films!

This one just has the Red Arrows in it - film Red 7190 (which I need to rescan as VueScan decided to change the colour correction settings it was using halfway through) also has the Vulcan.
