Guess the Quote

HerculeAndAchille

It isn't (sorry for posting so late!)

P_Lombard

Is it Mr. Carter in The Secret Adversary?

HerculeAndAchille

It isn't Mr Carter, either.

Tommy_A_Jones

Albert

Tommy_A_Jones

Albert?

HerculeAndAchille

No, it's not about Albert.

Tommy_A_Jones

Conrad?

HerculeAndAchille

It isn't Conrad either

Tommy_A_Jones

Gabriel Stavansson?

HerculeAndAchille

It isn't about Mr Stavansson, either.

Tommy_A_Jones

Have I got the right book?

HerculeAndAchille

If you mean Partners in Crime, then no.

P_Lombard

Is it Colonel Pikeaway in Postern of Fate?

HerculeAndAchille

It isn't either, I'm afraid.

P_Lombard

Is it Whittington from The Secret Adversary?

HerculeAndAchille

It isn't, either. Do you have any questions about the book itself?

Tommy_A_Jones

Is it someone on the wrong side of the Law?

Mrs Blair

Is the book the secret adversary?

HerculeAndAchille

No to both Mrs Blair and Tommy_A_Jones.(Though I suspect this character may have done some morally questionable things, this person isn't characterised as being generally on the wrong side of the law)

Tommy_A_Jones

Does this person have a Career

HerculeAndAchille

Yes, this person is a working individual

Tommy_A_Jones

Are they a servent either inside or outside

Jo14

Can I play? Who is AC describing: '.................loved him beyond reason and beyond rectitude.........'

P_Lombard

Jo14, of course you can play, but we have to figure out HerculeAndAchille's 1st before we can move on to a new quotation. By the way, I believe yours is Elinor Carlisle from Sad Cypress loving Roddy "beyond reason".

HerculeAndAchille, is it a character from Postern of Fate?

HerculeAndAchille

There's one novel which seems to have slipped everyone's minds (which rather disappoints me, since I enjoyed it a great deal)!

PoirotBabosaGalaxy

Oh. I can't remember which novel it was that Agatha Christie referenced a murderer as Ophelia... So sad that Poirot shook his egg-shaped head nodding sadly. Tsk. Tsk. Was it Sad Cypress?

P_Lombard

Then if it is not from Postern of Fate, is it from By the Pricking of my Thumbs? Is it Ivor Smith from By the Pricking of my Thumbs?

Mrs Blair

Is it Tommy himself speaking? When they are trying their hand at the different detective types in Mr Blunt’s agency?
