Poirot
held
up
his
hand
.
272
“
My
excuses
!
I
sent
that
wire
,
and
hired
the
gentleman
in
question
.
”
273
“
You
—
but
why
?
What
?
”
The
nobleman
spluttered
impotently
.

“
My
little
idea
was
to
bring
things
to
a
head
,
”
explained
Poirot
placidly
.
275
“
Bring
things
to
a
head
!
Oh
,
my
God
!
”
cried
Lord
Yardly
.
276
“
And
the
ruse
succeeded
,
”
said
Poirot
cheerfully
.
“
Therefore
,
milord
,
I
have
much
pleasure
in
returning
you
—
this
!
”
With
a
dramatic
gesture
he
produced
a
glittering
object
.
It
was
a
great
diamond
.
277
“
The
Star
of
the
East
,
”
gasped
Lord
Yardly
.
“
But

“
No
?
”
said
Poirot
.
“
It
makes
no
matter
.
Believe
me
,
it
was
necessary
for
the
diamond
to
be
stolen
.
I
promised
you
that
it
should
be
preserved
to
you
,
and
I
have
kept
my
word
.
You
must
permit
me
to
keep
my
little
secret
.
Convey
,
I
beg
of
you
,
the
assurances
of
my
deepest
respect
to
Lady
Yardly
,
and
tell
her
how
pleased
I
am
to
be
able
to
restore
her
jewel
to
her
.
What
beau
temps
,
is
it
not
?
Good
day
,
milord
.
”

And
smiling
and
talking
,
the
amazing
little
man
conducted
the
bewildered
nobleman
to
the
door
.
He
returned
gently
rubbing
his
hands
.

“
Poirot
,
”
I
said
.
“
Am
I
quite
demented
?
