Agatha Christie - Five Complete Miss Marple Novels


Which of the complete stories from this book are the quotes from:


  • Miss Marple accepted the propriety of the relationship with an understanding nod and the Canon remarked:

  • It was a long speech for her. Miss Marple looked thoughtfully down at the top of her dark head.

  • Miss Marple drew her chair a little closer. It had been some time before she had been able to get together with Miss Prescott for a heart-to-heart chat. This was owing to the fact that clergymen are very family men so that Miss Prescott was nearly always accompanied by her brother, and there was no doubt that Miss Marple and Miss Prescott found it less easy to take their back hair down in a good gossip when the jovial Canon was of their company.

  • "I don't know that I'd even call it that. I doubt if the girl would even understand that word. Payment for being discreet isn't thought of as blackmail. You see, some the people who stay here are the rich playboy lot and their morals won't bear much investigation." His voice was slightly scathing.

  • "That would be a very interesting question," said Miss Marple. "I have not yet had the pleasure of sufficient conversation with you to evolve a theory as to that."
