A nice scan of the very rare cover of The Moochers.

Quote of the Day
"You could ask Liz what she thinks," suggested Nicky.
"No, I couldn't," said Kay. Liz doesn't know about Gail's carry-on the Day of the Flood."
In the dormitory that night she glanced at Gail's arm, free at last of the plaster which, by the time it was taken off, was so covered in signatures and funny drawings that it looked more like an autograph album than a plaster. "What did Doc Winkle-picker say about hockey, Gail - are you allowed to play again?"
"Heavens, yes, I've mended very nicely. I'm turning up at the practice tomorrow. I'm dying, I must admit, to get a stick in my hands again. Those walks with Miss Chambers rambling on about seed-pods and making us pick lumps of wet, dead prickly undergrowth out of the hedges, or Fishy spouting bits of poetry about autumn, what she called that 'season of inexhaustible influence on the mind of taste and tenderness', which I suppose was a quotation, were just about the end."
From NORTHMEAD NUISANCE, Chapter 11, Gossip and Grumbles.
