    Correct :-)
  • "If ever there was love and grief in a woman's voice, I heard it then."
  • Pat_septemberPat_september Gauteng, South Africa
    Oh, so much drama in this sentence, it has to be from "Murder on the "Links", Poirot himself speaking.
    ;;)
  • Correct! Congratulations Pat_September! Your turn.
  • Pat_septemberPat_september Gauteng, South Africa
    Thank you!!
    Oh, let's have this quote:
    "It's a long time since I've seen her... For many years now, it's been just a card at Christmas."
    :)
    Good luck everyone!
    ;;)
  • I tried to work this out with logic and method and arrived at a solution of Helen speaking about Cora in After The Funeral. Is that a Hastings or a Poirot answer?
  • Pat_septemberPat_september Gauteng, South Africa
    Hello Mrs Blair, no, it is not from After The Funeral, sorry. Would you like to give it another try?
    ;;)
  • Oh this is a hard one... Tuppence in Elephants Can Remember?

  • Pat_septemberPat_september Gauteng, South Africa
    Oh, sorry, but no... it is not Tuppence and not Poirot or Hastings either... this is all I can tell, but do try again!! third time lucky
    :D
  • I shall have to ponder over it for a while...

  • Oh am I confused? It's Ariadne Oliver in Elephants Can Remember, talking about Celia?
    I think I will have to give up if this isn't right, my poor memory can't cope.
  • Pat_septemberPat_september Gauteng, South Africa
    oh, no, don't give up... the line belongs to a rather small character, but the novel is a popular one... good luck!
    :-bd
  • At this rate, I shall go through every novel there is... Belle speaking of Blackie in "A Murder is Announced"?

  • Pat_septemberPat_september Gauteng, South Africa
    Well done, Mrs Blair!! Persevering paid off!!  
    =D>

    Your turn!

  • Thankyou very much! I have to admit that the 'small character' hint helped!


  • OK then, this is a quote from an old favourite of mine:

    "No,no, I can't imagine any one disliking her - really disliking her, I mean. Spite is different."

    Good Luck!
  • Is it Freddie Rice in Peril at End House?
  • No, I'm afraid not.
  • Pat_septemberPat_september Gauteng, South Africa
    I also thought of Peril At The End House first, but I see I would have been wrong. Couldn't have been. There isn't such meanness.
    It is from sad Cypress, Roddy speaking to Poirot about the deceased Mary Gerrard, the not very clever protege of the wealthy aunt.

  • But a beautiful girl. Thanks all, 
    Back to you!
  • Yes, Well Done! I thought I had already replied to this but it obviously didn't take.


    I dont think she was unintelligent, maybe the lack of the chance to display any emotional depth, she and Roddy may have made a good match, once the social inequalities they were facing had been eliminated, if possible.

    Anyhow, back to you. 






  • Pat_septemberPat_september Gauteng, South Africa
    ... if possible, well said.

    Thank you, let's see this one, an easy one I should think:
    "She was far more benignant than he had imagined and a good deal older. she seemed indeed very old."
     
    ;;)
    Good luck to you and to all a good day!

  • My initial guess is that the speaker is referring to Miss Jane Marple, and that it's Giles doing the thinking, given that was meant to be her last case, and therefore she must have been old(er)!
  • Pat_septemberPat_september Gauteng, South Africa
    yes, yes, it is Miss Marple, but a different story...
  • ianthepoetianthepoet Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom
    Miss Marple Murder Is Announced.
  • Pat_septemberPat_september Gauteng, South Africa

    Miss Marple Murder Is Announced.
    YES! well done! your turn!

  • ianthepoetianthepoet Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom
    " 'Well, this is interesting,' she said. 'It's not often I receive a visit from the police.' "

  • ianthepoetianthepoet Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom
