Numbers 4 and 7 have a bit of poetic license. But everything else matches uncannily.

Some of my fondest memories are of watching “Poirot” with my grandmother in her cozy little house. In the early 90’s it was shown on PBS “Mystery” on KCPT 19 on Thursday nights. The flicker of the television against the heavy drapes, with the sound of the weight-driven grandfather clock tick-tocking and chiming in the tiny foyer as we watched David Suchet embody Poirot… such memories. Say an Ave for the actor David Suchet. He is an ethnic Jew that converted to… ugh… Anglicanism, and has done some amazing projects, including an audio recording of the Gospel of St. John, and documentary films on the lives of Saints Peter and Paul. He might be the last living zealous Anglican. But he needs to cross the Tiber. If you didn’t know, Agatha Christie wrote Poirot as a devout Belgian Catholic. Poirot resolved the tremendous moral quandary of the situation on The Orient Express by praying the Rosary.

And here is the intro for “Mystery”, which I have to include, because my grandmother would always snarkily imitate the “wailing damsel”. Ohhh! Ooooooohhh! 😂😜🤣
