Paddi Edwards: Lois Hoey

Quotes 

• Jessica Fletcher : [at the Founder's Day picnic]  Well, how does this sound? "Captain Joshua Wayne, a free-spirited adventurer who seized opportunities wherever he could find them."

  Lois : Jessica, he was a pirate.

  Jessica Fletcher : Well. I'm trying to state that as delicately as I can.

  Lois : You don't have to do that. We've always been very proud of Captain Wayne and his Yankee gumption.

  Jessica Fletcher : And nobody cares that he fought on the British side in the Revolutionary War?

  Lois : [shocked]  He didn't?

  Jessica Fletcher : He most certainly did!

  Lois : [grabs Jessica's arm and lowers her voice]  Jessica, you certainly can't let that get around.
