Yes, I have been swimming! There's nothing like the shock of cold water and rhythmic movement to stimulate the little grey cells.

You see, it is folly to try and trick Hercule Poirot... even in a dead language.

It is not me that is hiding, it is you who are lying!

I myself timed the journey. But then I was not running like a young gazelle, for obvious reasons.

Thank you for those three hours of sheer, and unadulterated hell! This may come as a nasty surprise to you but shock absorbers have been standardized equipment on motorized vehicles for thirty years!

If I can't see you faces shining in every knife, fork and spoon, I'll have your guts for garters! Understood?

I could just kill that cow!

If it's fun you're looking for, darling, go play with the jellyfish.

She runs like a dromedary with dropsy.

Linda, do stop standing there like a coughdrop and say good morning to Monsieur Poirot!
