Guess That Quote

M_Hercule_Poirot 23 Sep 08 at 11:28 a.m. GMT

Well this was one of the more popular games on the old website so I decided to make a version for the new one.

"No. He had minor worries, like most men, but there was nothing of a serious nature."

Is it Norton speaking to Colonel Luttrell? The Shakespeare quotation is "the fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our stars, but in ourselves if we are underlings" Well the Colonel was certainly under the thumb of his missus!

Does Poirot say it to Norton? I know Norton is compared to Iago he has been on this site and I think in the Book.

No its not poirot to hastings, so a little hint:

Hastings was present in the scene, but the quote wasn`t adressed to him, but the one who sais the lines, is one of the major characters and the listener is male^^

maybe Poirot says this quote to Hastings?

right book but wrong characters

Nofret 24 Jan 12 at 6:24 a.m. GMT

I've got a feeling that the Shakespeare quotation was trotted out by Hastings in Curtain, possibly speaking to Elizabeth Cole, who he was trying to impress.

Thank you ^-^ Well i have here another quote:

"Not in our stars, dear Brutus but in ourselves"

I wish you all a good guessing time^^

oh sorry it`s Anthony Cade (alias Prince Nicholas Obolovitch of Herzoslovakia) to Baron Lolopretjzyl.

Yes, Stephen, this quote is from The Secret of Chimneys. Please supply also the character who says this, and the character to whom this is spoken. ^.^

mr_mr1983 doesn't seem to have come back yet. I'll pop in a quote to get this game going again.

"Between a Herzoslovakian nobleman and an English gentleman the terms should be easily arrange."

This should be fairly obvious.

We usually ask the person who gives the correct answer to set the next puzzle / quiz. If mr_mr1983 is around... congratulations, you have guessed correctly; and would you like to set the next puzzle? :-)

Mr_Graves 13 Dec 11 at 2:22 a.m. GMT

My goodness! The unassuming mr_mr1983 has guessed correctly. It is indeed Poirot talking to his young friend Colin Lamb. Unfortunately, Poirot was not so correct with his own guess...
