Re: I saw an interview with Hickson some years ago in which she said she had recently found a note in her papers that had been sent to her years before by Christie saying she thought Hickson should play Miss Marple.

Nice sentence, SRS, worthy of P.G. Wodehouse himself.

My favorite sentence from Miss Marple is "By a shifty eye, I mean one that looks you straight in the face and never wavers."

An Archie Goodwin favorite: He knew that I knew that he knew that I knew.
