Prescription for Miss Marple: After the doctor had gone, his nurse, Miss Knight, bustled in. "There," she said to Miss Marple, "we look much more cheerful. Did the doctor recommend a tonic?" "He recommended I take an interest in murder." "A nice detective story?" "No," said Miss Marple. "Real life." "Goodness," exclaimed Miss Knight. "But there's not likely to be a murder in this quiet spot." "Murders," said Miss Marple, "can happen anywhere. And do." "At the Development, prehaps?" mused Miss Knight. "A lot of those Teddy Boys carry knives." But the murder, when it came, was much closer to home.
