[thought for the day] tuesday evening


“I remember when I was a girl, one of my – well - my young men - picked up a handful of gravel, and the girl who was with me said at once that he was treasuring it because my feet had trodden on it.

Such a pretty idea, I thought.

Though it turned out afterwards that be was taking a course in geology at a technical school. But I liked the idea anyway - and also stealing a girl's handkerchief and treasuring it - all those sort of things.”


[Agatha Christie, from “The Seven Dials Mystery”, 1929]
