[edit] Useless redirect
The link in (See By the Pricking of My Thumbs) points to a redirect which ends up in this article. Brilliant. However it relates to from William Shakespeare's Macbeth remains unexplained. Does anyone even check if links return to the originating article? --16:29, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia Accuracy
I'm not confident of the accuracy of this sentence: "The character of Mrs. Lancaster appeared as a minor character in two other Christie works: Sleeping Murder (which was written during World War II but not published until 1976) and The Pale Horse (1961)."
I'm not changing anything right now, because I don't have the books handy at the moment. I remember Agatha Christie quoting the phrase: 'Was it your poor child', etc. in other books, but I didn't get the impression that it was Mrs. Lancaster saying it. I had the impression that it was an incident that Christie had heard of or thought of, and that she used it in more than one novel.Marieblasdell 01:10, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- I went ahead and removed it. Christie often recycles ideas or phrases. Marieblasdell 01:22, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
