Sad Cypress
by Agatha Christie
“Why should these things happen to one? It’s not as though one wished them to happen! It is contrary to all—to all one’s ordered expectation of life!”
Hercule Poirot said: “Ah, but life is like that! It does not permit you to arrange and order it as you will. It will not permit you to escape emotion, to live by the intellect and by reason!

Poirot said: “A spring morning, a girl’s face—and the well-ordered sequence of existence is routed.”
