Agatha Christie
Image
... it's always interesting when one doesn't see. If you don't see what a thing means, you must be looking at it wrong way round.
Agatha Christie
Image
Our weapon is our knowledge. But remember, it may be a knowledge we may not know that we possess.
Agatha Christie
Image
But I know human nature, my friend, and I tell you that, suddenly confronted with the possibility of being tried for murder, the most innocent person will lose his head and do the most absurd things.
Agatha Christie

It is clear that the books owned the shop rather than the other way about. Everywhere they had run wild and taken possession of their habitat, breeding and multiplying, and clearly lacking any strong hand to keep them down.
