Quotes

  • Eudora Chuahhas quoted3 years ago
    but I’d like to get this clear. I didn’t care for Arlena—only just a little at first—and living with her day after day was a pretty nerve-racking business. In fact it was absolute hell, but I was awfully sorry for her. She was such a damned fool—crazy about men—she just couldn’t help it—and they always let her down and treated her rottenly. I simply felt I couldn’t be the one to give her the final push. I’d married her and it was up to me to look after her as best I could. I think she knew that and was grateful to me really. She was—she was a pathetic sort of creature really
  • Eudora Chuahhas quoted3 years ago
    “Rosamund, did you get some extraordinary idea into your head that I’d killed Arlena.”

    Rosamund looked rather shamefaced. She said:

    “I suppose I was a damned fool.”

    “Of course you were.”
  • Eudora Chuahhas quoted3 years ago
    Just make up your mind not to hate your next stepmother.”

    Linda said startled:

    “Do you think I’m going to have another? Oh, I see, you mean Rosamund. I don’t mind her.” She hesitated a minute. “She’s sensible.”

    It was not the adjective that Poirot himself would have selected for Rosamund Darnley, but he realized that it was Linda’s idea of high praise.
