I believe, Messieurs, in loyalty---to one's friends and one's family and one's caste.
Agatha Christie
Image
It had come about ex­act­ly in the way things hap­pened in books.
Agatha Christie

The simplest explanation is always the most likely.
Agatha Christie
Image
To put it quite crudely ... the poor don't really know how the rich live, and the rich don't know how the poor live, and to find out is really enchanting to both of them.
Agatha Christie
