"Dr Gerard and Colonel Carbury interchanged a quick glance. Colonel Carbury #drummed on the table with his fingers."

Today‘s prompt was really hard! This is all I‘ve got!

#PipersPiping
“He never got on well with my father, or my elder brother, and I suspect that my being somewhat of a prodigal son myself rather increased than diminished his affection towards me. Of course I am a poor man, and my uncle was a rich one—in other words, he paid the #piper!"

"It is possible that I am wrong,” said Poirot. “Yes, it is possible that I am entirely wrong. I will see the doctor. But you see, Miss Adams had enemies. Things are very different in America—” He hesitated, but the good Alice #leapt at the bait." from #Lord Edgware Dies

#LadiesDancing
Zut, I do not take her back, that one!
...Ah! Me I do not care. No doubt she passes the Xmas holiday with some man she has picked up. It is not my affair. I can find other girls—girls who will leap at the chance of #dancing in the Ballet Maritski and who can dance as welL or better than Anna.
...Why do you want to find her? Has she come into money?
On the contrary... We think she may have been murdered.

"What extra coffee-cup?"
"I don't know."
"He'd better ask Dorcas, or one of the #maids, if he wants to know
about coffee-cups. It's their business, not mine. I don't know
anything about the coffee-cups, except that we've got some that
are never used, which are a perfect dream! Old Worcester. You're
not a connoisseur, are you, Hastings?"

#SwansaSwimming
"“It‘s the truth, sir. I swear to God it‘s the truth. I didn‘t know what it was—not for a moment. It had a name on it—I thought it was just a piece of music.” Wargrave looked at Lombard. “Was there a title on it?” Lombard nodded. He grinned suddenly, showed his white pointed teeth. He said: “Quite right, sir. It was entitled #Swan Song.

The Secret of Chimneys | Agatha Christie

“On the sideboard were half a score of heavy silver dishes, ingeniously kept hot by patent arrangements.
"Omelet," said Lord Caterham, lifting each lid in turn. "Eggs and bacon, kidneys, deviled bird, haddock, cold ham, cold #pheasant. I don't like any of these things, Tredwell. Ask the cook to pouch me an egg, will you?"”
#12daysofChristmas
My research yesterday on colly birds taught me #goldenrings are pheasants?!
