Fictional Character Who Studied Abroad #46:
Jane Marple, fictional amateur detective in many novels and short stories (and film adaptations) by Agatha Christie

From They Do It With Mirrors (also published under the title Murder With Mirrors):

“You are a very old friend, I think, of our dear Carrie Louise?” he said.

“We were at school together in Italy, Mr. Gulbrandsen. Many many years ago.”

and

“It seems only a few months ago that we were at Florence. Do you remember Fräulein Schweich and her boots?”

The two elderly women laughed together at events that had happened nearly half a century ago.

Miss Marple’s author, Agatha Christie, also studied abroad!
