That was the question I asked myself as I sat in the train watching the flat Essex landscape outside. How long ago was it that I had taken this selfsame journey? Had felt (ridiculously) that the best of life was over for me! Wounded in that war that for me would always be the war – the war that was wiped out now by a second and a more desperate war. It had seemed in 1916 to young Arthur Hastings that he was already old and mature. How little had I realized that, for me, life was only then beginning. I had been journeying, though I did not know it, to meet the man whose influence over me was to shape 5 p q and mould my life. Actually, I had been going to stay with my old friend, John Cavendish, whose mother, recently remarried, had a country house named Styles. A pleasant renewing of old acquaintanceships, that was all I had thought it, not foreseeing that I was shortly to plunge into all the dark embroilments of a mysterious murder.

  • DEATH in the CLOUDS Agatha Christie
    DEATH IN THE CLOUDS Agatha Christie Chapter 1 The September sun beat down hotly on Le Bourget aerodrome as the passengers crossed the ground and climbed into the air liner "Prometheus," due to depart for Croydon in a few minutes' time. Jane Grey was among the last to enter and take her seat, No. 16. Some of the passengers had already passed on through the center door past the tiny pantry kitchen and the two wash rooms to the front car. Most people were already seated. On the opposite side of the gangway there was a good deal of chatter - a rather shrill, high-pitched woman's voice dominating it. Jane's lips twisted slightly. She knew that particular type of voice so well. "My dear, it's extraordinary - no idea... Where do you say?... Juan les Pins?... Oh, yes... No, Le Pinet... Yes, just the same old crowd... But of course let's sit together... Oh, can't we?... Who?... Oh, I see." And then a man's voice, foreign, polite: "With the greatest of pleasure, madame." Jane stole a glance out of the corner of her eye. A little elderly man with large mustaches and an egg-shaped head was politely moving himself and his belongings from the seat corresponding to Jane's on the opposite side of the gangway. Jane turned her head slightly and got a view of the two women whose unexpected meeting had occasioned this polite action on the stranger's part. The mention of Le Pinet had stimulated her curiosity, for Jane, also, had been at Le Pinet.

  • Extracted from the Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie
    Extracted from The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie Background The Mysterious Affair at Styles is a detective novel by Agatha Christie. It was written in the middle of World War I, in 1916. This was Christie's first published novel, introducing Hercule Poirot, Inspector (later, Chief Inspector) Japp, and Arthur Hastings. Poirot, a Belgian refugee of the Great War, is settling in England near the home of Emily Inglethorp, who helped him to his new life. His friend Hastings arrives as a guest at her home. When the woman is killed, Poirot uses his detective skills to solve the mystery. 1. Every one was assembled in the dining-room. Under the circumstances, we were naturally not a cheerful party. The reaction after a shock is always trying, and I think we were all suffering from it. Decorum and good breeding naturally enjoined that our demeanour should be much as usual, yet I could not help wondering if this self-control were really a matter of great difficulty. There were no red eyes, no signs of secretly indulged grief. I felt that I was right in my opinion that Dorcas was the person most affected by the personal side of the tragedy. 2. I passed over Alfred Inglethorp, who acted the bereaved widower in a manner that I felt to be disgusting in its hypocrisy. Did he know that we suspected him, I wondered. Surely he could not be unaware of the fact, conceal it as we would. Did he feel some secret stirring of fear, or was he confident that his crime would go unpunished? Surely the suspicion in the atmosphere must warn him that he was already a marked man.

    A TEACHER’S LESSON PLAN FOR BY MS. ANNMARIE BYRNES, M.A. www.HarperAcademic.com A TEACHER’S LESSON PLAN FOR AGATHA CHRISTIE’S THE ABC MURDERS 2 Table of Contents Note to Teachers 3 Introduction 4 Fiction 4 Mystery 4 Historical Context 6 Essential questions 7 Reading the novel The ABC Murders 8 Reading Check Assignments 9 Post-Reading Activities 14 Written Work 14 Activities 15 Final projects 19 Education Standards 22 English/Language Arts Standards 22 National Educational Technology Standards 22 A TEACHER’S LESSON PLAN FOR AGATHA CHRISTIE’S THE ABC MURDERS 3 Note to Teachers The study of Agatha Christie’s stories and novels is quite suitable for grades 7 through 12, depending on the abilities of the students and the curriculum of the class. These lessons can easily be adapted to work for different grade and ability levels. The lessons are student-centered, aligned to the common core, and engaging for students to complete. In middle school (7th -8th grade), the short stories are a fine entry into the world of Mrs. Christie’s mysteries. Teachers can use the stories and novels to teach the elements of fiction, literary terminology, research and writing skills, presentation, and vocabulary. High school students (9th -12th grade) can graduate to the novels. The novels’ suspenseful stories, full of rich dialogue and char- acterization, pull even reluctant readers into the world of mystery fiction. The clues and suspects encourage readers to read closely, searching for evidence to solve the mystery. Informational text is a key corollary to the novel, as the teacher encourages additional research on the part of the students to aid in their understanding of the intricate plot and past settings.

    Poirot’s Early Cases Agatha Christie 1974 2 Contents The Affair at the Victory Ball The Adventure of the Clapham Cook The Cornish Mystery The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly The Double Clue The King of Clubs The Lemesurier Inheritance The Lost Mine The Plymouth Express The Chocolate Box The Submarine Plans The Third‐Floor Flat Double Sin The Market Basing Mystery Wasps’ Nest The Veiled Lady Problem at Sea How Does Your Garden Grow? 3 4 The Affair at the Victory Ball I Pure chance led my friend Hercule Poirot, formerly chief of the Belgian force, to be connected with the Styles Case. His success brought him notoriety, and he decided to devote himself to the solving of problems in crime. Having been wounded on the Somme and invalided out of the Army, I finally took up my quarters with him in London. Since I have a first‐hand knowledge of most of his cases, it has been suggested to me that I select some of the most interesting and place them on record. In doing so, I feel that I cannot do better than begin with that strange tangle which aroused such widespread public interest at the time. I refer to the affair at the Victory Ball. Although perhaps it is not so fully demonstrative of Poirot’s peculiar methods as some of the more obscure cases, its sensational features, the well‐known people involved, and the tremendous publicity given it by the Press, make it stand out as a cause célèbre and I have long felt that it is only fitting that Poirot’s connection with the solution should be given to the world.
