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?

  • The vicar came up to the sofa and looked down at the dying man. "Poor fellow," he said, and shook his head. "No, I don't know him. I'm almost sure I've never seen him before."

  • "No body," said Miss Marple firmly. "That's the thing that would stare you in the face, if there weren't such a lot of redd herrings to draw you off the trail - including the suggestion of foul play and remorse. No body. That was the real significant fact."

  • There was a pause, Sir Henry looked very hard at Miss Marple who looked back at him with gently quizzical blue eyes. Jane Helier broke the silence.

  • Great was the chagrin of the village when it was made known that the Misses Skinner had engaged, from an agency, a new maid who, by all accounts, was a perfect paragon.

  • "But I never talk shop," said Sir Henry modestly. "No, I never talk shop."
