About This Quote

This quote from "Moon-Face" by Agatha Christie is a play on words. In this instance, there are three things Moon-Face is talking about. First, he is saying that Silky’s Pop Biscuits are a treat. He doesn’t often make them and he tells you they are a treat.

Second, he says that Silky has made some Google Buns for him. He doesn’t often make them and he tells you they are a treat. Finally, he says that he rarely makes these hand-held buns because it takes him so long to make them.

The ending of this quote is significant in that it suggests that Moon-Face will never make these buns again because it takes so much time to make them.
