Agatha Christie - The Characters Miss Jane Marple When Miss Marple first appeared, in 1930, she was described as a tall old lady with a wrinkled face and china blue eyes. She has changed very little in appearance, though there are indications that she has grown more frail. She should be more than one hundred years of age by now (despite her recent attempts to convince us differently) and she still lives alone. Miss Marple is an unashamed advocate of gossip as a means of obtaining the information she needs to solve her cases. Early in her career, she used bird glasses as a subterfuge for spying on fellow inhabitants of St. Mary Mead. Now she uses more subtle means. Finances have been a problem for Jane Marple, as she has had to live on a small, fixed income, She has always been helped by her nephew, novelist Raymond West. In recent years, as he has gained fame, he has grown more generous to his aunt, even sending her on a vacation. The last Jane Marple mystery, planned for publication after the death of her creator, Agatha Christie, has the announced title of "Sleeping Murder." Hercule Poirot Hercule Poirot is five feet four inches tall, has an egg-shaped head generally tilted slightly to the left. His eyes appear green when he is excited. Vanity compels him to squeeze his feet into black patent leather shoes which are too small. His enormous moustache is waxed and twirled into points at the ends. Considering his age, his hair is suspiciously dark. Originally Poirot was a mainstay of the Belgian police and one of the leading detectives on the European continent. He was wounded in the leg during the German invasion of his homeland in 1914. As a refugee in England, he renews his acquaintance with Captain Hastings, who also had been wounded. Poirot is staying with some other Belgian refugees near the mansion at Styles where Hastings is a guest. When murder occurs, Poirot repays English hospitality by agreeing to solve the crime. Deciding to remain in England, he becomes a private inquiry agent in London. He shares a flat with Hastings, who recounts Poirot's adventures. The menage includes two efficient aides: Poirot's valet, Georges, and his secretary, Miss Lemon. In his first appearance, which takes place in approximately 1915, Poirot is described as elderly. It is clear that even if he were only 50 then, he is now well over one hundred years old. Fortunately, time has not dulled the sharp brain which he describes as his "little grey cells." He still insists on "order and method," and deprecates reliance on physical clues alone as a means of solving cases. His energy has seldom flagged and, though he has retired many times (once to raise pumpkins), an interesting case will always bring him back to action. Perhaps it is his tremendous confidence in his own abilities which makes him believe only he can solve the case. Death must come as the end, even to Poirot. Ironically, it finds him at Styles, the scene of his first triumph in England. Though crippled by arthritis (he spends most of his day in a wheel chair) and subject to angina pectoris, Poirot has not lost his mental faculties to the ravages of time. His last case is a splendid achievement, a unique tour-de-force. Poirot, at his death, became the only fictional detective to have his obituary printed on Page One of the New York Times. Parker Pyne For 35 years, Parker Pyne compiled statistics in a government office. When he retired, he wanted to employ this experience in a useful, enjoyable way. He placed an advertisement in the Personal column of the daily newspaper which read: "Are You Happy? If Not Consult Parker Pyne ..," In this novel fashion, he enjoys his advanced years, helping to make others happy for fees they can afford. His look of British solidity immediately inspires reassurance in his unhappy clients. He is large, though not quite fat, has a bald head of noble proportions, and a pair of strong glasses that do not conceal his little twinkling eyes. He exudes benevolence, making it easy for one to confide in him.
