ENTER PRINCESS DRAGOMIROFF


I've long said there is not enough travel by train anymore.  This past Christmas, Warbucks told me he had gotten a surprise for me, and would need time off. Well, I pressured him to tell me soon, I was entering all my vacation time, I needed to know. I fell over and hit the floor when it arrived. The houseboys ran to fetch my smelling salts. It was my ticket for a trip on the Venice-Simplon Orient Express!!!!! I guess I will be putting out...ALOT!  Warbucks arrived  on Tuesday, and we fly to London, where the next day take the train to Vienna. I have always adored Princess Dragomiroff.
I only hope I'm more fashionable and not as dark as her. "Princess Dragomiroff, you never smile." "My doctor has advised against it."

So we are off, and if a plan hatches where the whole train plans to stab another passenger, I want no parts. I'll be to busy making this up to Warbucks!!!!

I'll return in a couple weeks dears. Don't do anything I wouldn't.

  5. "I guess I will be putting out A LOT" so... same as usual in other words?

    Whoa! That sounds like a lot of fun! Enjoy your vacation. I have a feeling you will be known as Princess Smirnoff... even though you're a queen! ;p

    2. With all of the "thanking" Maddie's going to be doing, I would think that packing underwear would be a waste of time and space.

  42. Just throwing this out here, I've never read Agatha Christie or seen this movie in any of its versions. I now know who dunnit but I would like to know which is the best version to watch, if I can get over that hideous mustache!

    1. A mustache like that always gives a good tickle. I hear.

    2. Dear Deedles, I myself enjoy the 1074 version with Lauren Bacall,Albert Finney, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Bissett, Sean Connery and Wendy Hiller. Although, did enjoy Judi Denchs Princess Dragormiff in the latest version also.

      Delete
    3. Oh dear, the 1974 version I meant. I'm old....but not that anicent.

      Delete
    4. Thank you, Ms. Agnes. I must admit, the 1074 gave me a chuckle. Actually, 1974 seems ancient too. That's the year I graduated from high school. This movie sounds a lot more interesting than attending a 45th reunion with people who never bothered with me in school :)

    6. Albert Finney is fantastic as Poirot, even if he's nowhere as dreamy-looking a he was in--*sigh*--Tom Jones.
