Committed A Crime Hercule Poirot
5,618 wordsWith an exhausted sigh, Dirk Crozier unlocked the door to his business office at exactly 8: 53 to begin another night of work. As he walked through the doorway, he threw his hat in the general direction of his coatrack. It missed, of course, but Crozier didn't bother to pick it up.

She is homeless. But no, she doesnt steal and never has in her life. She is down on her luck and needs help. And can we please help her? A dime, a nickel, anything. In fact, she wo...

Opened The Door Six Years
1,874 wordsI awoke to the soft trickling of water outside my window. It took me a moment to realize that it is raining again; the tranquil sound of water dripping from the birch was as sweet as the silver bells ringing at Christmas. It was only six in the morning, but more than willingly I got up, put on a robe and opened my window. Almost immediately, the chilling November wind gushed in engulfing me with its icy fingers. I shuddered, but made no attempt to close the window as my eyes slowly came into foc...

Hannibal Crosses The Alps
1,256 wordsThe march of Hannibal across the Alps onto Italy is thought to be legendary. Having read this book, that mere sentence is reiterated to its full extent.

With 6 columns across the front and back and 16 on each side (counting the corner columns twice), the temple has a ratio of length to width of nearly three to one.

They progressively reduced the temples length relative to its width, until by the mid- 5 th century the ratio was slightly more than two to one. The Parthenon in Athens (447 - 432 BC), for example, has 17 colum...

In the first scaffold scene, Hester is being led from the prison where she has spent the last few months, towards the scaffold clutching her newborn baby to her bosom, ...
