His mission: to show her what she is legally entitled to with the sale of her husband's property.

'Courage' is actually a very moving poem- a father's advice to his son.

False Dawn had me holding my sides through parts of this story as our narrator, who we presume is working at a government post in India, accompanies a small party of locals who have decided to have a picnic about 6 miles from the village in the middle of nowhere when a rain and then dust storm kicks up.

Mundon Mandeville runs a thoroughly disliked repertoire theater company and is murdered inside a windowless room in the building although everyone involved has an alibi. 

Father Brown is a fictional Roman Catholic priest and amateur detective. He is featured in 53 short stories by English author G. K. Chesterton, published between 1910 and 1936.  Father Brown solves mysteries and crimes using his intuition and keen understanding of human nature. Chesterton loosely based him on the Rt Rev. Msgr John O'Connor (1870–1952), a parish priest in Bradford, who was involved in Chesterton's conversion to Catholicism in 1922.[ Since 2013, the character has been portrayed by Mark Williams in the ongoing BBC television series Father Brown.

Character

Father Brown on a case, illustrated by Sydney Seymour Lucas for The Innocence of Father Brown Father Brown is a short, plain Roman Catholic priest, with shapeless clothes, a large umbrella, and an uncanny insight into human behaviour. His unremarkable, seemingly naïve appearance hides an unexpectedly sharp intelligence and keen powers of observation. Brown uses his unimposing demeanour to his advantage when studying criminals, to whom he seems to pose no danger, making him a precursor, in some ways, to Agatha Christie's later detective character Miss Marple. His job as a priest allows him to blend into the background of a crime scene, as others can easily assume he is merely there on spiritual business.

The story was written as a sequel to “The Ice Palace,” and Clark Darrow appears in both. The omniscient narrator, who ensures that close observation is paid to Powell’s story, draws in the reader. The opening line – “Jim Powell was a Jelly-bean”- labels the protagonist immediately, and as a character he remains within the stereotype Fitzgerald indicates, though he almost manages to break free.  

 The history of Powell’s life presents a tale of a family fallen on hard times. Powell is humiliated by the whisperings of the social set and chooses notoriety over civility. He fights for his country aged eighteen and returns at twenty-one with ill-fitting, unfashionable clothes which symbolize how he does not “fit” in society.

Powell contrasts with the attractive and dynamic Clark Darrow. He is unsure of whether to go to the party Darrow invites him to, but Nancy Lamar, with her “mouth like a remembered kiss,” entrances him. The simile is a romantic one, as although Powell has always known Nancy, she has never been attainable to him. 

Its a small town story with all its class divides and Fitzgerald builds some very believable caracters around which his story evolves. 

In this classic Poirot mystery Hastings and Poirot are asked to clear up a very unusual settlement in which the sole heir, a young woman, is challenged by her now deceased grandfather to find a will in which she will receive all his fortune. If she does not find it- it all goes to charity. In his eyes, he was testing her to see if she was deserving of it....does she pass the test?

Yes- Poirot is BACK!...despite the terrible review we received a couple years ago complaining that my French sounds like its been infusd with Russian.. I was moved by that, and left for a year to study at the Sarbonne, at which time I was reminded that Poirot's character was born in lived as a child in  in Portugal, and often took trips with his father to Moscowbefore the fall of the Romanovs-so I had to spend some time there as well.  then it was back to the states to study the shows on PBS with David Suchet who does a tolerable job with Poirot- whats a few Emmy's anyway?  Someday I will win the equivalent of an Emmy- what's that in podcasting- a Poddy?...for my interpretation of a (in this story) flu-weakened Poirot who hasn't lost his crime solving ability yet, Hastings. So there. Now on with the show. 

  The Mystery of Hunter's Lodge is a short story written by Agatha Christie, which was first published in The Sketch in May 1923 in the U.K. The story was published in the U.S. in The Blue Book Magazine in June 1924 as "The Hunter's Lodge Case". In 1924 also, the story appeared as part of the collection Poirot Investigates. 

Frank Stockton was best known for his humurous children's stories and later "fairy tales for adults" in which he pokes fun at our human capacity for misundesrstanding while building a very credible love story. He wrote the story in the mid 19th century and didnt live long enough to enjoy seeing it beceome a movie in 1936 starring Carole Lombard and Caesar Romero.
