Old Miss Marple inclined her head. It was a gentle gesture of courtesy. Whilst Major

Palgrave proceeded with the somewhat uninteresting recollections of a lifetime, Miss

Marple peacefully pursued her own thoughts. It was a routine with which she was well

acquainted. (…) With Major Palgrave the terms were slightly

different. (…) But the pattern was essentially the same.

An elderly man who needed a listener so that he could, in memory, relive days in which

he had been happy. Days when his back had been straight, his eyesight keen, his hearing

acute.

The door opened and Temple announced
Lady Mary Lytton Gore and Mr. and Mrs.
Babbington and Miss Lytton Gore.
Mr. Satterthwaite supplied Miss Wills with
her cocktail and then sidled into the neighborhood
of Lady Mary Lytton Gore. He had
a weakness for titles.
Also, apart from snobbishness, he liked a
gentlewoman, and that Lady Mary most undeniably
was.Three Act Tragedy by Agatha Christie

Linda was as akward as a young colt and as prickly as a hedgehog. She was conscious the whole time of her ungainliness an of the fact that she was neither one thing nor the other. (“Evil under the Sun” Agatha Christie)

Et c’est là que surement une partie des nouvelles Partners in Crime a été écrite.

Greenway est une résidence qu’Agatha Christie a achetée avec son deuxième mari dans le département de Devon en Angleterre. Un lieu où le temps semble s’avoir arrêté même pour les visiteurs qui prennent leur temps pour s’en voler dans la contemplation de ce beau sauvage jardin que Agatha Christie aujourd’hui partage avec les touristes.
