2. Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple A Pocketful of Rye
Miss Marple had left St Mary Mead
by early train, changing at the
junction and going on the London
terminus and thence of to Baydon
Heath.
An elderly lady travelling by train
had bought three morning papers,
and each of them as she finished
it, she folded it and laid it aside,
showed the same headline. It was
no longer a question now of a small
paragraph hidden away in the corner
of the papers. There were headlines
with flaring announcements of Triple
Tragedy at Yew tree Lodge.
At the station she signalled a taxi and asked to be taken to Yewtree Lodge. So charming, so innocent, such a fluffy and pink and white old lady was Miss Marple that she gained admittance to what was now practically a fortress in a state of siege far more easily than could have been believed possible. Though an army of reporters and photographers were being kept at bay by the police, Miss Marple was allowed to drive in without questions, so impossibe would it have been to believe that she was anyone but an elderly relative of the family.
The old lady sat very upright,
looking out of the window of the
train, her lips pursed together, an
expression of distress and disapproval
on her pink and white wrinkled
face.
