It's from Paul's letter to the Hebrews, Chapter 9, starting at verse 16, where he starts on yet another convoluted explanation:Ģ3 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. There was something about the inner strength portrayed by these two elderly, upright characters, intoning words of power like Abbesses that held my attention. Miss Marple (thoughtfully) "otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth"
Miss Marple (in a voice of moral certitude) "there must also be the death of the testator"Īunt Effie (looks round sharply, with approval) "For a testament is of force after men are dead" I can't remember exactly who said what, but it went something like this Īunt Effie (in a voice of doom) "For where a testament is" They've just discovered yet another body, at night, in the garden. The Joan Hickson Marple, of course - all other Marples pale into insignificance beside her. This one was delivered as a scary and ominous threnody, by "Aunt Effie Fortescue" and "Miss Marple" in last night's film of "A Pocketful of Rye" by Agatha Christie.
