Hand in Glove Quotes

“It’s so unreal and beastly.’ ‘Murder is beastly. Unfortunately it’s not unreal.”
― Ngaio Marsh, Hand in Glove

“Desirée wore black for her April Fool’s party. On any other woman of her age it would have been a disastrous dress but, by virtue of a sort of inner effrontery, she got away with it. Her neck, her bosom and that dismal little region, known, prettily, as the armpit, were all so many statements of betrayal, but she triumphed over them and not so much took them in her own stride as obliged other people to take them in theirs.”
― Ngaio Marsh, Hand in Glove
