A line of French verse passed through his mind—how did it go. Venus toute entière à sa proie attaché…*. And that Mary he did not love. Behind the cold blue eyes of that Mary was a stranger—a stranger he did not know….
* Venus herself fastened to her prey.
From "Phèdre" (1677), act I, scene III by Jean Racine (1639-1699).

“But which of them?” said Calgary.
MacMaster shrugged his shoulders. “One simply doesn’t know.”

Thank you Valerie! The Complete Agatha Christie binge is slowly drawing to a close, but I'm still having fun with it 🤣!
Huge ABBA fan over here 🙌 but the rest of the quote is an example of my least favourite style of writing.
