Une atmosphère festive si british si bien décrite

Une atmosphère festive si british

si bien décrite par Agatha Christie!

'Midwinter Murder'

'The curtains were drawn in the dining-room, and the lights on,

illuminating the long table piled high with crackers and other decorations.

It was a real old-fashioned Christmas dinner. At one end of the table was

the Squire, red-faced and jovial; his sister faced him at the other. M. Poirot,

in honour of the occasion, had donned a red waistcoat, and his plumpness,

and the way he carried his head on one side, reminded one irresistibly of a

robin redbreast'.
