Lord Darcy Quotes

“It was bushy-bearded John Peabody, eating by himself, his suitcase on the floor beside his chair.”
― Randall Garrett, Lord Darcy

“Great and brilliant men and women, whose usual conversations were in the realm of ideas, would normally shun gossip or sporting events or even crime–except in the abstract–as topics for an evening’s discourse. But give them a murder–not a commonplace death in a public house brawl, nor a shooting in a robbery, nor a sordid killing in a fit of jealousy, nor an even more sordid sex crime, but an inexplicable death surrounded by mystery–give them a nice, juicy, puzzle of murder, and lo! they can speak of nothing else.”
― Randall Garrett, Lord Darcy
