      The House of Lurking Death - Agatha Christie

      TOMMY AND TUPPENCE

      A DETECTIVE SERIES BY AGATHA CHRISTIE

      No. VII.-- THE HOUSE OF LURKING DEATH

      WHAT-- began Tuppence, and then stopped.

      She's not bad, admitted Tuppence. And her clothes are simply the latest shout.

      She's perfectly lovely, said Tommy. She's like those girls Mason writes about- you know, frightfully sympathetic, and beautiful, and distinctly intelligent without being too saucy. I think- yes, I certainly think-- I shall be the great Hanaud this morning.

      Hm, said Tuppence. If there is one detective out of all the others whom you are most unlike, I should say it was Hanaud. Can you do the lightning changes of personality Can you be the great comedian, the little gutter-boy, the serious and sympathetic friend- all in five minutes?

      I know this, said Tommy, rapping sharply on the desk: ‘I am the Captain of the Ship- and don't you forget it, Tuppence. I'm going to have her in."

      He pressed the buzzer
