by Agatha Christie
At the bottom of page 123, it was written: "I can see you are a very clever young man -- but not quite enough confidence in yourself. You ought to have!"
There is this young man in my church. He is more intelligent than his result suggests. Until he enter a course in his area of passion, even he himself lacks confidence. When he was struggling with a major he was not interested in, he failed. It took him some time working. Then he took a short course and passed before he dared to sign up in his area of interest. Miracle of miracles, he was on the dean's list the very first semester.
So it was as if Miss Marple was having him (from my church) in mind when she made that remark!
