The Palace is a luxury ocean liner. It just so happens that it floats in a sea of mediocrity.

Father Brown after tasting their bouillabaisse: It tastes very much of the sea. It's extremely salty.

Father Browns answer when asked if he wanted Champagne: Well that is a very easy question to answer. Yes please.
