Some lines from Giant's Bread, Mary Westmacott

Mary Westmacott is the alter ego of Agatha Christie. Christie always wanted to prove her writing skills in non-criminal literature. Specially lovers books... Giant's Bread is the first of a series of six book which she decided to sign as Mary Westmacott because she didn't want to make profit of her fame as a detective novel writer: she desired to prove her editors that she could be equally successful writing love stories than writing police stories.

After this short introduction, read this few lines from Giant's Bread...

"The boat drifted slowly downstream - a queer silent enchanted world. Because, he supposed, there were no human beings about. It was, when you came to think of it, an excess of human beings who spoilt the world. Always chattering and talking and giggling - and asking you what you were thinking of when all you wanted was to be let alone."

I love Agatha because from time to time, she always makes me think with short and shocking remarks... Just like this one.
