At Bertram’s Hotel

At Bertram’s Hotel (1965) Agatha Christie (Miss Marple, #11)

We actually have two quite different sets of bedrooms. The English we put in one lot, the Americans in the other. The rooms all look alike, but they are full of actual differences—electric razors, and showers as well as tubs in some of the bathrooms.

“One wonders if she is happy,” said Miss Marple. Lady Selina, who had clearly never wondered anything of the kind, looked rather startled.

“All this telephoning will cost a fearful lot of money,” said Mrs. McCrae.

“I’m afraid so.”
