Quotes
-
Hercule Poirot : Do you think Shaitana played any card games?
Major Despard : There is only one game that Shaitana played... a low-down game. We all make mistakes. Even you, I dare say, have a failure now and then.
Hercule Poirot : Well, the last one was 28 years ago.

Hercule Poirot : There is a Madame Luxmore, n'est-ce pas?
Major Despard : How did you find out?
Hercule Poirot : My friend, Madame Oliver. She pointed out that your editor had made a tiny error. In Chapter Four, you wrote, "The Luxmores were researching tropical plants." Luxmores. Plural. Two of them. Then, later, there is only one. Did you shoot him?
Major Despard : Yes.
