Quotes 

• Ellery Queen : Now I know who killed Lillian McGraw, and if you've been watching closely, you've seen the clue, and more than once. Got it? Was it Lillian's husband? Cousin Celeste? Prescott? And what about Lucheck? And what about Vargo? And is Claude Gravette really what he says he is? I'll tell you one thing: the clue is as plain as the nose on your face.

• Dr. Friedland : How long have you had this problem, Mr. Queen?

  Ellery Queen : A couple of days. I've been trying to figure it out, but it just doesn't make any sense.

  Dr. Friedland : I see. You're confused. Disoriented.

  Ellery Queen : The fact that she didn't scream for several seconds tells me that she knew whoever it was that came in through the French window. The blue flakes...

  Dr. Friedland : Blue flakes.

  Ellery Queen : She must have known it was her own face under there. That's why she scraped it off.

  Dr. Friedland : She scraped off her face?

  Ellery Queen : No, the Vargo. At least, the name. And what about Lazar? He could have shaved off his beard.

  Dr. Friedland : Beard?

  Ellery Queen : Where did the fake Dutch Master come from? Was it the forger who came through the window? And why didn't she lock it?

  Dr. Friedland : Mr. Queen, this 'she' you keep referring to - it's your mother.

  Ellery Queen : No, Lillian McGraw.
