That much I will say for him gladly: and if any widow says more than that, Florian, do you beware of her, for she is an untruthful woman."

These children have learned the value of time. They have learned to appreciate the joyousness of useful amusement.

"I believe the word for ambulance is the same in both languages," said Marie Guernalec saucily; "Sylvia, don't trust Monsieur Trent."
People I had never been able to get at humanly, people who resisted even Madame, not only chose to open their doors but their mouths, to Meester Fleent. Uncouth fumbling men, slip-shod women, dirty-faced children, were never dumb and suspicious or wholly untruthful and evasive, where the Butterfly Man was concerned.
"Do you really think so?" I asked. "Miss Howard had always seemed to me so essentially honest almost uncomfortably so." Poirot gave me a curious look, which I could not quite fathom. He seemed to speak, and then checked himself. "Miss Murdoch too," I continued, "there's nothing untruthful about her." "No. But it was strange that she never heard a sound, sleeping next door; whereas Mrs.
