But, yes, buried in the middle of the third paragraph is the real reason for the note: she has chosen not to discuss the one episode in her 85 years that everyone will be looking for. There is nothing about her notorious lapse into amnesia in 1926, and Dodd, Mead might well have tried to head off a great deal of fruitless inquiry. Dame Agatha's first husband...
