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
Image
Mr. Jesmond made a peculiar noise rather like a hen who has decided to lay an egg and then thought better of it.
