They Came to Baghdad?

OK, it seems either I am having my gray cells turned white, or people have other activities at this time of the year.

I've realized this topic has come to a standstill because @alexandra.albu.507 hasn't been here.

Is it okay, if I start a new quote? 

Zeddie

I would love someone to start this game up again so please, by all means...

Christopher_Wren

Thanks.

It's an easy one, I think: "But owing to the weather, we were 20 minutes late."

Mrs Blair

Is this quite a minor character speaking in the novel?

Christopher_Wren

No, not really minor.

Mrs Blair

Is it a female?

Christopher_Wren

No.

Zeddie

Is he from a Poirot story?

Christopher_Wren

Yes!

Mrs Blair

I think this is a murder linked to a journey?

Christopher_Wren

Yes, it is.

Mrs Blair

Are you French?

Christopher_Wren

Oui! ;-)

Mrs Blair

Ha ha, the younger one?

Christopher_Wren

Oh, I thought you got it. But no, the character is neither the older nor the younger Monsieur Dupont.

Mrs Blair

Oh merde!

Mrs Blair

Well then, are you titled?

Christopher_Wren

As a hint: The quote could be very helpful to deduce the book.

Mrs Blair

Thanks, if no one guesses overnight, I'll have another crack tomorrow!

Tommy_A_Jones

Is the Quote in a Miss Marple Novel

Christopher_Wren

No, it's already confirmed, that it's a Poirot Novel.

Tommy_A_Jones

Oh right Sorry, Is it from Cards On The Table?

Mrs Blair

Was a train relevant in your journey?

Christopher_Wren

@Tommy_A_Jones: No.
@MrsBlair: Yes!

Mrs Blair

Do you have another name in the novel?

Christopher_Wren

If you mean, that the character uses more than one name: No, he doesn't.

But there is a part of his life/identity, that he keeps secret from Poirot.
