"Reading for Read Christie 2025.
April's Prompt: Butlers
Alternative Prompt: Housekeepers or Maids
The official pick for April is The Seven Dials Mystery, but since I have already read it, I decided to read the one alternative option that I have not yet read, which is The Witness for the Prosecution and Other Stories.
The audiobook is performed by Hugh Fraser and Christopher Lee." — Apr 02, 2025 02:40PM

“You see, Laggart hadn't known much kindness during his existence, and it's a sorry truth that people often live what they know. He didn't view himself as mean or callous. He thought the way he acted was normal, because that was how he'd always been treated. In the land where everyone screams, everyone is also slightly deaf.
Now, it should be said that there are people who escape such a cycle of cruelty. When you find them, cherish them. Because unfortunately, many continue like Laggart, never realizing the way they are. Until perhaps they experience a moment like the one that happened on that ship.”
― Tress of the Emerald Sea

“The only person you should be out to impress and advance is yourself. If you do that, it won't matter what people think of you, and you'll have the security of knowing you can look after yourself.”

“A little pebble starts as an avalanche," I said. "Life isn't like the craps table, where the next roll has the same chance of winning as the last one. In real life, you lose a little - and that makes you wonder if you deserve to lose. You get nervous, make mistakes, overcompensate. That makes you lose more, then it compounds. Eventually, you're so far gone..."
I heaved out a sigh. What was I doing? Trying to justify it all? Heap my bad decisions upon other sources?
No, I thought. You've never had a problem taking responsibility. You've always thought you were worthless.”
