Death of a Dude (Nero Wolfe, #44) QUOTES

1 " guest is a jewel on the cushion of hospitality. "

― Rex Stout , Death of a Dude (Nero Wolfe, #44)

2 " My favorite spot on earth is only a seven-minute walk from where I live, Nero Wolfe’s house on West 35th Street: Herald Square, where you can see more different kinds of people in ten minutes than anywhere else I know of. One day I saw the top cock of the Mafia step back to let a Sunday-school teacher from Iowa go first through the revolving door of the world’s largest department store. If you ask how I knew who they were, I didn’t, but that’s what they looked like. "

― Rex Stout , Death of a Dude (Nero Wolfe, #44)

3 " But for anyone who is fed up with people and noise, the favorite spot could be Lily Rowan’s cabin clearing. I admit there is a little noise, Berry Creek making a fuss about the rocks that won’t move, but after a couple of days you hear it only when you want to. "
