Mrs Blair, you are so close I think I will give it to you.
You were right in guessing it was Battle. The full quote is from Cards on the Table. “A straightforward,
honest, zealous officer doing his duty in the most laborious manner – that’s my
style. No Frills. No fancy work. Just honest perspiration. Stolid and a bit
stupid – that’s my ticket.”
I'm new to the game, but this seems like fun. Is it by any chance someone from A Caribbean Mystery? I'm sure I remember looking up the phrase 'milk of human kindness' while I was reading that one.
Greg Dyson, describing himself, whilst in conversation with Edward & Evelyn Hillingdon & Lucky Dyson upon their formal introduction to Miss Marple. Such a funny phrase, and it always seems to be used in the ironic sense.

Well done. Now it is your turn.
Here's my quote:
"Poor boy, he's got it badly. Oh well, it can't be helped. He'll get over it in time."
No, I'm not in a T@T book
No, I'm not PP
Yeah!
I'll post my quote tomorrow after I think about it tonight.
Here's the quote folks:
"Not like me. Full of the milk of human kindness."Yes @mike1410, it's Greg Dyson!. Congrats! Your turn now.
"Wondering why I hide my beauty, dear? He, he, he. Afraid it may tempt you, eh? But you shall see - you shall see."
