Agatha Christie ~ Five Classic Murder Mysteries

Quotes from the stories:

~ Can you name the story?
~ Can you post which page?


  • There were two boys of the second marriage to whom their parents were devoted, and I fancied that Megan sometimes felt odd-man in the establishment. She certainly did not resemble her mother, who was a small anemic woman, fadedly pretty, who talked in a thin melancholy voice of servant difficulties and her health.


  • And not one I couldn't match from other cases! This one here is as near as nothing to one written by that milliner woman. This is one is the dead spit of an outbreak we had up in Northumberland - written by a schoolgirl, they were. I can tell you, gentlemen, I'd like to see something new sometimes, instead of the same old treadmill.


  • It wasn't me who thought of asking her! She rang up herself, said she'd something on her mind and could she com here, it being her day off. And I said, yes, subject to your permission which I obtained. And after that, not a sound or sign of her! And no word of apology either, though I should hope I'll get a postcard tomorrow morning. These girls nowadays - don't know their place - no idea of how to behave.


  • I thought it over. "No," I said, "frankly I haven't. If there's a dangerous lunatic about, driving inoffensive women to suicide and hitting miserable little maidservants on the head, then I'm no adverse to doing a bit of dirty work to put that lunatic under restraint."


  • The road was quite deserted. Nobody in Lymstock is about after dark. The first few houses were just ahead, among the ugly gabled building of the Women's Institute. It loomed up in the dim starlight and something impelled me to go and have a look at it. I don't know whether I had caught a faint glimpse of a stealthy figure flitting through the gate - if so, it must have been so indeterminate that it did not register in my conscious mind, but I did suddenly feel a kind of overweening curiosity about the place.
