Christie said in her autobiography, “Mr Quin was a figure who just entered into a story – a catalyst, to me – his mere presence affected human beings. There would be some little fact, some apparently irrelevant phrase, to point him out for what he was: a man shown in a harlequin-coloured light that fell on him through a glass window; a sudden appearance or disappearance. Always he stood for the same things: he was a friend of lovers, and connected with death.” Published in The Mysterious Mr Quin.
