-
Miss Jane Marple : Agatha Christie should be compulsory reading for the police force.
-
Miss Jane Marple : [attempting to console her dance partner, who is dismayed that the orchestra has chosen to play a rock song] One must be tolerant of the young, Mr. Enderby. I remember my dear mama was quite horrified when she caught me dancing the Charleston in public.
-
Miss Jane Marple : I'm planning to have a heart attack at the dance tonight.
-
Miss Jane Marple : [in riding habit] Oh, Miss Milchrest, good morning. How nice to see you again.
Miss Milchrest : [apparently frightened] Good morning.
Miss Jane Marple : Don't look so frightened, my dear. I've done my quota of murders for today.

Hector Enderby : [the Inspector trips over a saddle on the floor of the foyer] Do you see that?
Inspector Craddock : Can't really miss it, can you?
Hector Enderby : It's a Broadbeech side saddle. Broadbeech, Northampton. Vintage too. Well, have a look. Have a look at the date, behind the stirrup iron.
Inspector Craddock : It says, er...
Hector Enderby : No don't tell me, I'll tell you. 1882. No, I'm lying to you. 1885.
Inspector Craddock : Right.
Hector Enderby : I can tell you who it belongs to, too. I've only glimpsed one of these once in the whole country. Lady Kirk-Brackwell.
Inspector Craddock : No, it belongs to...
[rolls his eyes and sighs in exasperation]
Miss Jane Marple : Me, Mr. Enderby. Good morning, Inspector. My late mama's, of course.
-
Hector Enderby : Miss Marple, I would deem it an honour if you'd at least stay the day and be my guest at the hunt.
Miss Jane Marple : I'm very sorry, Mr. Enderby, but I disapprove of blood sports.
[leaves the room]
Hector Enderby : [to himself] That was a very narrow escape!
-
Inspector Craddock : For goodness sake, Miss Marple! Why didn't you ring?
Miss Jane Marple : The law may have a long arm, Inspector. Unfortunately, I haven't.
-
Inspector Craddock : There have been stupid murderers, you know.
Miss Jane Marple : She's a timid woman, not a stupid one.
-
Miss Jane Marple : Am I to assume that you are not going to do anything about this?
Inspector Craddock : Nothing whatever. You see, I'm a policeman, Miss Marple. I'm only interested in facts.
-
Miss Jane Marple : Are you by any chance proposing to me, Mr. Enderby?
