Christie Set

Famous quotes containing the words christie and/or set:

“[My father] was a lazy man. It was the days of independent incomes, and if you had an independent income you didn’t work. You weren’t expected to. I strongly suspect that my father would not have been particularly good at working anyway. He left our house in Torquay every morning and went to his club. He returned, in a cab, for lunch, and in the afternoon went back to the club, played whist all afternoon, and returned to the house in time to dress for dinner.”
—Agatha Christie (1891–1976)

“But at the coming of the King of Heaven
All’s set at six and seven:
We wallow in our sin;
Christ cannot finde a chamber in the inn.”
—Unknown. Yet if His Majesty, Our Sovereign Lord (l. 25–28)
