Her lip turned up into a look of disgust before rolling her eyes, and turning away headed for her seat. The cool, crisp morning air left white puffs of clouds coming from my breath as I stood on the starting line waiting for the starting gun to go off.

The manner of deaths appear to correspond with the rhyme, with one of the figurines being removed for each successive death.On the ceiling there is a big dark spot in which a drop of water visibly gathers, then plops to land splat in a puddle on a chair seat. The visiting Blues were two goals up in only nine minutes, Sam Blackman and Steve Cawley with them, and although Harrison Day got one back on the stroke of half time the equaliser didn’t arrive.

My mother said as she drove towards the airport, “I spoke to your father and he is going to meet you as soon as you get off the plane. The Bengali poem "Haradhon er Dosti Chhele" ("Haradhon's Ten Sons") is also inspired by "Ten Little Indians". The tattoo starts behind her ear and says WHY BE HAPPY WHEN—then it runs down below her shirt so I can’t read the rest (see previous mention of my creatively obstructionist fairy godmother). European Portuguese translations have been titled Convite Para a Morte (1948: "An Invitation to Death") and As Dez Figuras Negras (2011: "The Ten Black Figures" – referring to the figurines, in this case minimally anthropomorphic).Both of the original US publications changed the title from that originally used in the UK, due to the offensiveness of the word in American culture, where it was more widely perceived as a racially loaded ethnic slur or insult compared to the contemporaneous culture in the United Kingdom.
