"Of course," Ariadne Oliver said, "I'm happy when people pass on my books to their friends once they've read them, but I do like it when they buy a copy for themselves."

"And why is that, madame?" Hercule Poirot asked.

"I get royalties on every copy sold. It helps, you know."

"Not everybody is in the fortunate position of being able to buy lots of books."

"They can borrow them from the library. I get a tiny amount when a book is borrowed."

"Ah, even when the book is returned the next day, the reader not caring for your book!"

Thank you :)

That last part sounds very Poirot-ish and makes me miss reading the books.
