While I was reading – I distinctly heard the voice of the wonderful Joan Hickson, whenever Miss Marple spoke. “The young people think the old people are fools - but the old people know the young people are fools.” The other thing I had forgotten was that Murder at the Vicarage, is the first Miss Marple story – set of course in her village of St. It was the first time I think I had encountered anyone called Lettice in fiction, and the one part of the story I had remembered involves Lettice – she must have created quite an impression. I think it must be something like thirty years since I read The Murder at the Vicarage, (I was very young) though I had forgotten almost all the details, I do remember how enthralled I was back then. “There is no detective in England equal to a spinster lady of uncertain age with plenty of time on her hands.”
