Laura Anne’s Quotes

“Say what you like, it's not natural for five or six people to be on the spot when B is murdered and all to have a motive for killing B – unless, that is, B is absolutely madly unpleasant and in that case nobody will mind whether he's been killed or not, and doesn't care in the least who's done it.”
― Agatha Christie, The Pale Horse

“Exchange between Inspector Bigswell and Reverend Dodd:

“Then we may as well join forces because I came over here for exactly the same reason. Great minds think alike, eh, sir?”

“Or conversely, Inspector - fools seldom differ. It's curious how these old proverbs cancel each other out with such charming inconsequence. Since we've decided to join forces, I might add that many hands make light work - to which you might aptly reply: ‘Too many cooks spoil the broth.’ You see how beautifully it all works out?”
― John Bude, The Cornish Coast Murder

“It’s quite all right,” he said apologetically, “I haven’t come to sell you soap or gramophones, or to borrow money, or enrol you in the Ancient Froth-blowers or anything charitable. I really am Lord Peter Wimsey—I mean, that really is my title, don’t you know, not a Christian name like Sanger’s Circus or Earl Derr Biggers. I’ve come to ask you some questions, and I’ve no real excuse, I’m afraid, for butting in on you—do you ever read the News of the World?”
Nurse Philliter decided that she was to be asked to go to a mental case, and that the patient had come to fetch her in person.”
― Dorothy L. Sayers, Unnatural Death
