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?

• "Yes. I'd no idea of it - never dreamed of the thing being anything but an accident. Then, after Sir Ambrose's death, I got a letter. He had left directions to send it to me. He told me the truth in it. I don't know why - but he and I always got on very well together."

• "It might, madam. They may be know at the Yard. This isn't her first job, I'd say!"

• "I suppose her father heard about it in prison and he managed to break way and get hold of this suitcase from the old dresser he or his wife left it with. I suppose if the jewels really belonged to her mother, they can be used for the child now."

• The lawyer joined the tips of his fingers together professionally. "I should hardly like to say. On the facts I should hardly like to say."

• "I always did know, even when she was a child, when she was not telling me the whole truth. It took a long time, but I got it out at last. She had gone to the chemist's that morning and had bought some arsenic. She had had, of course, to sign the book for it. Naturally the chemist had talked."
