In
a
few
minutes
the
two
visitors
were
ushered
in
,
and
my
heart
gave
a
leap
as
in
the
foremost
I
recognized
no
less
a
personage
than
Lord
Estair
,
Leader
of
the
House
of
Commons
;
whilst
his
companion
,
Mr
.
Bernard
Dodge
,
was
also
a
member
of
the
War
Cabinet
,
and
,
as
I
knew
,
a
close
personal
friend
of
the
Prime
Minister
.
“
Monsieur
Poirot
?
”
said
Lord
Estair
interrogatively
.
My
friend
bowed
.
The
great
man
looked
at
me
and
hesitated
.
“
My
business
is
private
.
”
“
You
may
speak
freely
before
Captain
Hastings
,
”
said
my
friend
,
nodding
to
me
to
remain
.
“
He
has
not
all
the
gifts
,
no
!
But
I
answer
for
his
discretion
.
”
Lord
Estair
still
hesitated
,
but
Mr
.
Dodge
broke
in
abruptly
:
“
Oh
,
come
on
—
don
’
t
let
’
s
beat
about
the
bush
!
As
far
as
I
can
see
,
the
whole
of
England
will
know
the
hole
we
’
re
in
soon
enough
.
Time
’
s
everything
.
”
“
Pray
be
seated
,
messieurs
,
”
said
Poirot
politely
.
“
Will
you
take
the
big
chair
,
milord
?
”
Lord
Estair
started
slightly
.
“
You
know
me
?
”
Poirot
smiled
.
“
Certainly
.
I
read
the
little
papers
with
the
pictures
.
How
should
I
not
know
you
?
”
“
Monsieur
Poirot
,
I
have
come
to
consult
you
upon
a
matter
of
the
most
vital
urgency
.
I
must
ask
for
absolute
secrecy
.
”
“
You
have
the
word
of
Hercule
Poirot
—
I
can
say
no
more
!
”
said
my
friend
grandiloquently
.
