Guess that Quotation

P_Lombard

Here is how you play: guess who said the quotation and in which novel the quotation appeared. If you guess correctly, you win and get to provide the next quotation. To reduce confusion, all quotations should be in bold. Enjoy!

P_Lombard

Since I won the last game on the old website, I will provide the first quotation for this new game.

"[They] start rapping on the wall as early as twenty to eleven sometimes. It's a bit thick! After all, even the telly and the B.B.C. go on later than that."

MissQuin

 Is it Cherry in the Mirror Crack'd From Side To Side? Love this game.

P_Lombard

Correct! Your turn.

MissQuin

"Anyone's only got to look at you to know you couldn't murder anybody" Hope more people join in this game, as it's great.

P_Lombard

Is it Dr. Calgary from Ordeal by Innocence?

MissQuin

Good guess, but no. It is said by a male character though. 

P_Lombard

Is it Hastings in Murder on the Links?

GKCfan

Norman Gale in Death in the Clouds.  He says it to Jane.

MissQuin

GKC is right your turn

GKCfan

"Just a mite excited, aren't you, Gentleman Joe?"

P_Lombard

Is it Jimmy McGrath to Antony Cade in The Secret of Chimneys?

GKCfan

Yes, it is!

P_Lombard

"She is also now a little more reliable on the subject of firearms."

ChristieCommuter

Well it's definitely Poirot talking about Ariadne Oliver but I don't know in which novel ....

P_Lombard

True, it is Poirot speaking about Ariadne Oliver. Here is a hint: the novel in question was written after 1960.

tudes

Third Girl?

P_Lombard

No, this novel was published before Third Girl.

Pat_september

Could it be The Pale Horse? what a strange plot..
>-

P_Lombard

No, it is not The Pale Horse. Here is another hint: although Poirot is discussing the faults of Ariadne Oliver's books, Adriadne Oliver does not appear in this novel.

tudes

Would it be The Clocks?

Pat_september

Double Sin - a short story

P_Lombard

That is correct! Your turn.

Pat_september

Oh, WOW, how exiting! thank you Here it goes, this one might be an easy quote, just hope it isn't too short:

She had a rather beautiful old Spanish guitar that must have been worth a lot of money.

tudes

Michael Rogers about Fenella (Ellie) in Endless Night.

Pat_september

=D>

Well Done!! Your turn!

P_Lombard

Sorry for any confusion I created. I meant to say that The Clocks was the right answer to the quotation about firearms. So you have most definitely have earned your turn tudes.

tudes

Thank you (P Lombard and Pat september)!

And no problem, P Lombard.
 It's an easy one! Have fun:
