Three phases have succeeded each other during the span of my life. In the first the questions would be: “But who is she, dear? Who are her people? Is she one of the Yorkshire Twiddledos? Of course, they are badly off, very badly off, but she was a Wilmot.” This was to be succeeded in due course by: “Oh yes, of course they are pretty dreadful, but then they are terribly rich.” “Have the people who have taken The Larches got money?” “Oh well, then we’d better call.” The third phase was different again: “Well, dear, but are they amusing?” “Yes, well of course, they are not well off, and nobody knows where they came from, but they are very very amusing.”
—An Autobiography,
Agatha Christie (1894–1977)
