Clancy in Death In The Clouds

anne.clough.3

Mrs Oliver in Cards on the Table?

P_Lombard

Nope. It is neither Mr. Clancy in Death in the Clouds nor Mrs. Oliver in Cards on the Table. This quotation does not appear in a Poirot book.

Tommy_A_Jones

Miss Knight in The MirrorCrack'd From Side To Side

P_Lombard

No, it is not Miss Knight in The Mirror Crack'd. This quotation does not appear a Miss Marple book.

Is the character who says the quote a writer?

P_Lombard

The character who says the quotation is not a writer, but is an avid reader of detective fiction.

Tommy_A_Jones

Tuppence in Postern of Fate

P_Lombard

Tommy_A_Jones: You are very, very close. You have identified the right book, but not the right speaker.

anne.clough.3

Is it Tommy in Postern of Fate?

P_Lombard

Yes, that is right! It is Tommy speaking one of my favorite quotations from Postern of Fate. Your turn anne.clough.3.

Yes, it sure is! Told you it was easy.

Over to you P_ Lombard

P_Lombard

"I've never been deserted on a Greek island by my own true love or anything like that."

Tommy_A_Jones

Ann Beddingfield

P_Lombard

No, it is not Ann Beddingfield. You are right that the speaker is a female.

Tommy_A_Jones

Is the speaker talking to Poirot?

GKCfan

Mrs. Ariadne Oliver said it in Hallowe'en Party, referring to Ariadne of the Greek myths.

P_Lombard

That is right GKCfan! It is Mrs. Oliver in Hallowe'en Party. Your turn.

GKCfan

Thank you!

"I didn't know there were so many chauffeurs left in England!"

anne.clough.3

Is it Bobby Jones in "Why Didn't They Ask Evans?"

GKCfan

No, sorry.  It's a very different book with different characters.

P_Lombard

Is it Ellie in Endless Night?

anne.clough.3

Does a chauffeur play a big part in the story?

Tommy_A_Jones

Is a woman speaking?

GKCfan

No, it's not Endless Night, sorry.   No chauffeur plays a major role in the plot.  A woman does say the line.

Tommy_A_Jones

Is it from a Poirot Book

TeddyBg

It's from "Cat Amongs the Pigeons", but don't remeber who says it
