As any herpetologist will tell you, the fer-de-lance is among the most dreaded snakes known to man. When someone makes a present of one to Nero Wolfe, Archie Goodwin knows he's getting dreadfully close to solving the devilishly clever murders of an immigrant and a college president. As for Wolfe, he's playing snake charmer in a case with more twists than an anacondaâ??whistling a seductive tune he hopes will catch a killer who's still got poison in his hea… (mer)
Il signor Nero Wolfe? Sono Sara Barstow. - Accomodatevi - disse Wolfe. - Mi vorrete scusare, spero. Per ragioni di statica non mi alzo che in casi di urgenza. (76)
… ma da troppo tempo Wolfe m’aveva insegnato che l’angolo dove non arriva la luce e’ proprio quello dove e’ rotolato il soldino. (126)
Calma, signorina Maffei - fece Wolfe, agitando un dito verso di lei. - Temo non sia ancora giunto il momento della vostra vendetta. Non dimenticate che in seno alla nostra societa’ le persone civili e prudenti commettono i loro delitti soltanto sotto il riparo di complicate regole che permettono loro di sfuggire a ogni responsabilita’.

The first Nero Wolfe novel. It is well crafted, but quite raw compared to later works. Wolfe isn't as developed as he would become, but by he's still Wolfe. Archie is less suave in the earlier works. ( )
This was another enjoyable Nero Wolfe mystery. This involved a man dropping dead on the golf course. Wolfe realizes it was not a heart attack, but a poison dart that killed him. ( )
When I was a library page in the early 1970s I shelved Rex Stout books hundreds of times but I'd never read one before. Stout will not become my favorite author of mysteries but I may try another one. It was an enjoyable story though the ending seemed a bit..................well don't want to spoil anything. It is from the 1930s and I did enjoy the style of language from that era. ( )

There was no reason why I couldn't have been sent for the beer that day, for the last ends of the Fairmont National Bank case had been gathered in the week before and there was nothing for me to do but errands, and Wolfe never hesitated about running me down to Murray Street for a can of shoe-polish if he happened to need one.

Wolfe speaking to the golf club salesman with delusions of superiority......
You know, Mr. Townsend, it is our good fortune that the exigencies of birth and training furnish all of us with opportunities for snobbery. My ignorance of this special nomenclature provided yours; your innocence of the elementary mental processes provides mine.
Archie..............I hated to hear him (Wolfe) curse. It got on my nerves. The reason for that, he told me once, was that whereas in most cases cursing was merely a verbal explosion, with him it was a considered expression of a profound desire.
Must I again remind you, Archie, of the reaction you would have got if you had asked Velasquez to explain why Aesop's hand was resting inside his robe instead of hanging by his side? Must I again demonstrate that while it is permissible to request the scientist to lead you back over his footprints, a similar request of the artist is nonsense, since he, like the lark or the eagle, has made none? Do you need to be told again that I am an artist?
