Quotes:

Gabriel Feraud: I knew a man who was stabbed to death by a woman; gave him the surprise of his life.::Laura: I once knew a woman who was beaten to death by a man. I don't think it surprised *her* at all.

Armand D'Hubert: I am going to be killed responsibly, on horseback, as a compliment to the cavalry.

Armand D'Hubert: General Feraud has made occasional attempts to kill me. That does not give him the right to claim my acquaintance.

Armand D'Hubert: We came here to kill each other. Any ground is suitable for that.

Armand D'Hubert: Isn't this marriage-broking getting a little out of fashion?::Leonie: Nothing sensible goes out of fashion.

[talking about a marriage]::Armand D'Hubert: If I were to neglect making you a proposal, no blame would attach to you. And I think perhaps you might be saved from a... sad dull life.::Adele: If you neglect to make me a proposal, my uncle will go mad.::Armand D'Hubert: Damn it, you are not put on this earth to coddle your uncle.

[first lines]::Narrator: The duellist demands satisfaction. Honour, for him, is an appetite. This story is about an eccentric kind of hunger. It is a true story and begins in the year that Napoleon Bonaparte became ruler of France.

Leonie: A good marriage settles down quietly, like moss.

[last lines]::Armand D'Hubert: You have kept me at your beck and call for fifteen years. I shall never again do what you demand of me. By every rule of single combat, from this moment your life belongs to me. Is that not correct? Then I shall simply declare you dead. In all of your dealings with me, you'll do me the courtesy to conduct yourself as a dead man. I have submitted to your notions of honor long enough. You will now submit to mine.

Gabriel Feraud: You've insulted me!::Armand D'Hubert: I have strained my patience in order NOT to insult you.::Gabriel Feraud: I demand an apology!

The suspects include Violet's ex-husband, Don Gregg, who she jailed for nonpayment of alimony, but who was just released by a forged court order; Latigo Wells, the manager of Violet's stables and who had an argument with her that morning; and Eddie Fry, who had quarreled with Violet over his seeing her sister, Barbara Foley, and who was about to elope with Barbara. At Don's Long Island home, Hildegarde and Oscar meet his sickly father, Patrick, the caretaker, Chris Thomas, and his crippled son, Joey. After Patrick is murdered, Hildegarde snoops around and discovers clues which pinpoint the murderer, who is out to kill her.
