Book Quiz (Sept 30)

Book Quiz (Sept 30)

The first post in October for the book quiz will be...

From a book by:

Agatha Christie ~ Miss Marple - The Complete Short Stories
ISBN: 0-399-150129-9

Agatha Christie ~ Miss Marple ~ The Complete Short Stories
There are twenty stories in this book, and there will be no order on how the quotes are put up, post your answer in a comment, and on Friday I will let you know the correct answers. If no answers are posted I will re-post the quotes at another time.

Quotes from the short stories:

~ Can you name the short story?
~ Can you post which page?
  • "I'd like to know something about the cook," said Miss Marple. "She must have been a very stupid woman, or else very inexperienced."

  • Miss Marple nodded. Though having no particular liking for the bouncing, self-opinioned Gladys, she was quite sure of the girl's intrinsic honesty and could well imagine that the affair must have upset her.

  • That sweet old lady, Miss Jane Marple, was enjoying the delights of the metropolis for a fortnight, comfortably installed in her nephew's studio flat.

  • "Well, Aunt Jane, this is one up to you. I can't think how on earth you managed to hit upon the truth. I should never have thought of the little maid in the kitchen being connected with the case."

  • "Well, my dear," said Miss Marple, "human nature is much the same everywhere, and , of course, one has opportunities of observing it at closer quarters in a village."
