    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.” 

    Well done. Now it is your turn.

    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. 
  • alanalialanali San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago
    @bella.haliday Yes it's A Caribbean Mystery! Want to zero in on who it is?

    The Phrase is also used in Caroline Graham's Death Of A Hollow Man

    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.
  • alanalialanali San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago

    Yes @mike1410, it's Greg Dyson!. Congrats! Your turn now.
