Roger and Clemency

I like the idea that clemency, despite all appearances, is like a giant sap. It's very Alexandra Faraday and it's very Francis Cload. She feels like an original character who appears only in the story. I think we get a faint sense of Christie's distaste for pacifists in him. He was a conscientious objector during the war. So he did hospital work instead, stoking boilers. But even that he couldn't do because he says terribly heavy work. They let me take up educational work. And Aristide picked him out specifically to be the children's tutor. Well, apparently he was wrong about Josephine.
