Agatha Christie Quotes
A Sound Of Laughter Was Heard-they Turned Sharply. Vera Claythorne Was Standing In The Yard. She Cried Out In A High Shrill Voice, Shaken With Wild Bursts Of Laughter:
"Do They Keep Bees On This Island? Tell Me That. Where Do We Go For Honey? Ha! Ha!"
They Stared At Her Uncomprehendingly. It Was As Though The Sane Well-balanced Girl Had Gone Mad Right Before Their Eyes. She Went On In That High Unnatural Voice:
"Don't Stare Like That! As Though You Thought I Was Mad. It's Sane Enough What I'm Asking. Bees, Hives, Bees! Oh, Don't You Understand? Haven't You Read That Idiotic Rhyme? It's Up In All Of Your Bedrooms-put It There For You To Study! We Might Have Come Here Straightaway If We'd Had Sense. Seven Little Soldiers Chopping Up Sticks. And The Next Verse, I Know The Whole Thing By Heart, I Tell You! Six Little Soldier Boys Playing With A Hive. And That's Why I'm Asking-do They Keep Bees On This Island- Isn't It Damned Funny ... ?
