“
You
mean
?
”
“
I
mean
knives
and
forks
and
plates
and
empty
dishes
.
Ah
,
but
it
was
a
clever
idea
!
Graves
is
a
thief
and
a
scoundrel
,
but
what
a
man
of
method
!
He
overhears
a
portion
of
the
conversation
in
the
morning
,
enough
to
realize
that
Ascanio
will
be
in
awkward
position
to
defend
himself
.
The
following
evening
,
about
eight
o
’
clock
,
he
tells
his
master
he
is
wanted
at
the
telephone
.
Foscatini
sits
down
,
stretches
out
his
hand
to
the
telephone
,
and
from
behind
Graves
strikes
him
down
with
the
marble
figure
.
Then
quickly
to
the
service
telephone
—
dinner
for
three
!
It
comes
,
he
lays
the
table
,
dirties
the
plates
,
knives
,
and
forks
,
etc
.
But
he
has
to
get
rid
of
the
food
too
.
Not
only
is
he
a
man
of
brain
;
he
has
a
resolute
and
capacious
stomach
!
But
after
eating
three
tournedos
,
the
rice
soufflé
is
too
much
for
him
!
He
even
smokes
a
cigar
and
two
cigarettes
to
carry
out
the
illusion
.
Ah
,
but
it
was
magnificently
thorough
!
Then
,
having
moved
on
the
hands
of
the
clock
to
8
.
47
,
he
smashes
it
and
stops
it
.
The
one
thing
he
does
not
do
is
to
draw
the
curtains
.
But
if
there
had
been
a
real
dinner
party
the
curtains
would
have
been
drawn
as
soon
as
the
light
began
to
fail
.
Then
he
hurries
out
,
mentioning
the
guests
to
the
lift
man
in
passing
He
hurries
to
a
telephone
box
,
and
as
near
as
possible
to
8
.
47
rings
up
the
doctor
with
his
master
’
s
dying
cry
.
So
successful
is
his
idea
that
no
one
ever
inquires
if
a
call
was
put
through
from
Flat
ii
at
that
time
.
”
“
Except
Hercule
Poirot
,
I
suppose
?
”
I
said
sarcastically
.
“
Not
even
Hercule
Poirot
,
”
said
my
friend
,
with
a
smile
.
“
I
am
about
to
inquire
now
.
I
had
to
prove
my
point
to
you
first
.
But
you
will
see
,
I
shall
be
right
;
and
then
Japp
,
to
whom
I
have
already
given
a
hint
,
will
be
able
to
arrest
the
respectable
Graves
.
I
wonder
how
much
of
the
money
he
has
spent
.
”
Poirot
was
right
.
He
always
is
,
confound
him
!
The
problem
presented
to
us
by
Miss
Violet
Marsh
made
rather
a
pleasant
change
from
our
usual
routine
work
.
Poirot
had
received
a
brisk
and
business
-
like
note
from
the
lady
asking
for
an
appointment
,
and
he
had
replied
asking
her
to
call
upon
him
at
eleven
o
’
clock
the
following
day
.
She
arrived
punctually
—
a
tall
,
handsome
young
woman
,
plainly
but
neatly
dressed
,
with
an
assured
and
business
-
like
manner
.
Clearly
a
young
woman
who
meant
to
get
on
in
the
world
.
I
am
not
a
great
admirer
of
the
so
-
called
New
Woman
myself
,
and
,
in
spite
of
her
good
looks
,
I
was
not
particularly
prepossessed
in
her
favour
.
“
My
business
is
of
a
somewhat
unusual
nature
,
Monsieur
Poirot
,
”
she
began
,
after
she
had
accepted
a
chair
.
“
I
had
better
begin
at
the
beginning
and
tell
you
the
whole
story
.
”
“
If
you
please
,
mademoiselle
.
