St Mary Mead

~ Ginger wine with a splash of Scotch.

~ Damson gin.

~ Mary cooks dinner at the Vicarage:

• Bits and bobs and odds and sods and the meat rations been cut again-soup
• Fish and turnip stew, mostly turnip
• Apricot chutney

~ Golden Flowery First Flush Tippy Orange Pekoe tea.

~ Ripe Cherry or Congo Crimson?

~ Any chance of something moist in a glass?

~ Imperial Good Companion typewriter.

~ Blackcurrant cordial.

~ Mrs Grey's perfume: Eau de Nuit.

~ Mrs Grey: Ah that plain and forthright voice for which the Antipodes is so rightly reknowned.

~ Mushroom and sage soup served at Chimneys 

~ Little Ambrose: the prettiest village Miss Marple knows and with a much more impressive church than St Mary Mead.

~ Mrs Pritchard: You know I can't take pills without mayonnaise.

~ Margot Bence: Mrs Bantry, perhaps not so gleeful in the smile department.

~ Vincent Hogg describes his partner Lola Brewster as soothingly stupid.

~ Not quite the gentle fluffy old lady you look, are you?

~ A pile of carp.
