Felicity Lemon, commonly know as just Miss Lemon, is a character of Agatha Christie's novels about Hercule Poirot. In The Agatha Christie Hour, she was portrayed by British actress Angela Easterling. In Agatha Christie's Poirot, she was portrayed by Pauline Moran.
Overview[]
Anyone who sees Miss Lemon for the first time may think that she consists exclusively of sharp angles, which, however, quite suits Poirot, who prefers geometric precision in everything... Monsieur Poirot simply forgets that Miss Lemon is a woman. For him, it is a flawlessly precise working machine. Indeed, Miss Lemon has a truly terrifying ability to work. She is forty-eight, and nature has treated her mercifully, completely depriving her of all imagination. But still, she also has small feminine weaknesses. During her time working with Poirot, she made only two mistakes. True, in Miss Lemon's justification, it can be said that at that time she was extremely agitated by the events that were happening to her sister. Poirot decided to help her, because he did not want her to continue making mistakes (and also because he had been bored lately without investigations). She is an expert in almost everything and loves to organize. It is not her habit to think, unless, of course, she is asked to do so. In those rare free minutes that she has, she prefers to think about how else she can improve the office management system she has already brought to perfection. This is the only rest she allows herself. Also, before working for Hercule Poirot, Miss Lemon worked for the pro-government philanthropist Parker Pyne (another popular Agatha Christie character).
