Eminyakeni emibili kamuva yesehlukaniso sakhe no-Archibald Christie, washada no lowo ozoba uthando lwempilo yakhe, UMax Mallowan, umvubukuli omncane kunaye, okucatshangwa ukuthi umbhali ukhulume ngayo ibinzana lakhe elidumile "Shada nesazi semivubukulo, uma ukhula, uzokuthola uthandeka ngokwengeziwe."
