Agatha Christie's Poirot costumes [8/?]
↳ Miss Felicity Lemon's green outfit in 3x02 "How Does Your Garden Grow"
"There have been a lot of comments about the wonderful frocks I got to wear. We had a lot of very good costume supervisors and costume designers. Barbara Kronig was one of the original ones. She worked with the late Sheila Buckland who had an incredible store of vintage frocks, most of which I wore in the series. Sheila was very pleased with me because when the frocks were returned she always used to say she couldn't tell it had been worn. Because I really take care of costume, I'm very particular about that. Sheila was meticulous to a degree, she really was, and I've got the most wonderful shoes to wear as well. The production values were extremely high [on the series]."

Denouement scenes in Agatha Christie’s Poirot (1989 - 2013)
Poirot gathers all the suspects, witnesses and other people involved in the case to present them with the solution to the mystery. The chain of events, various clues and red herrings, secrets, motives and methods are explained in a lengthy, complex speech. After a dramatic build-up, Poirot reveals the killer’s identity.
"He knows who it is. He puts everyone through hell. He makes everyone feel guilty. The whole of the last act is Poirot summing up. It's my piece of theater, as well as Poirot's piece of theater." - David Suchet
Poirot shivered. The thought of a fourteenth-century English manor house filled him with apprehension. He had suffered too often in the historic country houses of England. He looked round appreciatively at his comfortable modern flat with its radiators and the latest patent devices for excluding any kind of draught.
"In the winter," he said firmly, "I do not leave London."
- Agatha Christie, 'The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding'
EARLIER:
Poirot: *putting on his new expensive perfume in the bathroom*
Miss Lemon: He went straight inside as soon as he came back from the shops. Didn't even read his letters.
Hastings: Strange.
Miss Lemon: Perhaps he is dyeing his hair.
Hastings: But he's a man.
“Today I feel inclined for the life of ease. It would have to be a very interesting problem to tempt me from my chair. See you, I have affairs of importance of my own to attend to.”
“Such as?”
“My wardrobe, Hastings. If I mistake not, there is on my new grey suit the spot of grease - only the unique spot, but it is sufficient to trouble me. Then there is my winter overcoat - I must lay him aside in the powder of Keatings. And I think - yes, I think - the moment is ripe for the trimmings of my moustaches -- and afterwards I must apply the pomade.”
- Agatha Christie, “The Adventure of the Clapham Cook”
