| Montague Egg / int_37499c8 | comment |
Once an Episode: At least once in each story, Monty quotes a rhyming couplet from the Salesman's Handbook. At the start of Murder at Pentecost he can't think of one that suits his current situation, so composes a new one on the spot. | |

Canon Welding: In Dirt Cheap, Mr. Waters is a traveling salesman for Brotherhood, the soft drinks firm last seen when Lord Peter Wimsey forgot he was under an alias and pwned the Brotherhood employees' cricket team in Murder Must Advertise. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Montague Egg / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Montague Egg is a 'good egg'. Maher-Shalal-Hashbaz means "he who makes haste to the spoils"—a warrior's name for a cat who fights off the person trying to drown him and finds his way across London back to his home. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: In Maher-Shalal-Hashbaz, once the ailurophobic old man had his heart attack, the murderers had no further use for the cats. Into the water barrel they went, and only one got away. | |

Bitter Almonds | |
| Montague Egg / int_92c112f7 | comment |
Bitter Almonds: Actually the title of one of his stories, where an elderly man was supposedly poisoned by his nephew after threatening to disown him over his engagement to an actress. In reality, after the young man had stormed from the table, the "victim" pulled out a bottle of almond liqueur that had sat in his liquor cabinet unopened for twenty years. The small amount of bitter almond oil in the liqueur had risen to the top and concentrated over the years, giving the first glass poured out a lethal dose of cyanide. This is a case of Ripped from the Headlines - such a liqueur actually did exist and at least one death was attributed to the phenomenon. | |

False Confession | |
| Montague Egg / int_db015585 | comment |
False Confession: Mr Temple in Murder at Pentecost has a reputation with the police as an attention-seeking eccentric who claims responsibility each time there's a murder in the town. So they don't take the possibility seriously that he actually did it this time. | |
