The Harlequin Tea Set
Years after their last meeting, Satterthwaite has an unexpected encounter with Mr Quin in the Harlequin Café! Satterthwaite is on his way to visit an old friend when Mr. Quin leaves him with a single word ‘Daltonism’. Quin’s reference – to a tendency to colour blindness – may be crucial when Satherthwaite must later try and prevent a brutal murder!
In his memoirs, Sir Max Mallowan, describes his wife’s Mr Quin stories as ‘detection written in a fanciful vein, touching on the fairy story, a natural product of Agatha’s peculiar imagination’.
This short story was published in Problem at Pollensa Bay and Other Stories and also in The Harlequin Tea Set and Other Stories.
