With
a
swift
movement
,
the
woman
snatched
up
a
big
black
velvet
cat
which
served
as
a
cover
for
the
telephone
.
“
They
are
stitched
in
the
lining
of
that
.
”
“
Clever
,
”
murmured
Poirot
appreciatively
.
He
stood
aside
from
the
door
.
“
Good
evening
,
madame
.
I
will
detain
your
friend
from
New
York
whilst
you
make
your
getaway
.
”
“
Whatta
fool
!
”
roared
the
big
Italian
,
and
raising
the
revolver
he
fired
point
-
blank
at
the
woman
’
s
retreating
figure
just
as
I
flung
myself
upon
him
.
But
the
weapon
merely
clicked
harmlessly
and
Poirot
’
s
voice
rose
in
mild
reproof
.
“
Never
will
you
trust
your
old
friend
,
Hastings
.
I
do
not
care
for
my
friends
to
carry
loaded
pistols
about
with
them
and
never
would
I
permit
a
mere
acquaintance
to
do
so
.
No
,
no
,
mon
ami
.
”
This
to
the
Italian
who
swearing
hoarsely
.
Poirot
continued
to
address
him
in
a
tone
of
mild
reproof
:
“
See
now
,
what
I
have
done
for
you
.
I
have
saved
you
from
being
hanged
.
And
do
not
think
that
our
beautiful
lady
will
escape
.
No
,
no
,
the
house
is
watched
,
back
and
front
.
Straight
into
the
arms
of
the
police
they
will
go
.
Is
not
that
a
beautiful
and
consoling
thought
?
Yes
,
you
may
leave
the
room
now
.
But
be
careful
—
be
very
careful
.
I
—
—
Ah
,
he
is
gone
!
And
my
friend
Hastings
looks
at
me
with
eyes
of
reproach
.
But
it
was
all
so
simple
!
It
was
clear
,
from
the
first
,
that
out
of
several
hundred
,
probably
,
applicants
for
No
.
4
,
Montagu
Mansions
only
the
Robinsons
were
considered
suitable
.
Why
?
What
was
there
that
singled
them
out
from
the
rest
—
at
practically
a
glance
.
Their
appearance
?
Possibly
,
but
it
was
not
so
unusual
.
Their
name
,
then
!
”
“
But
there
’
s
nothing
unusual
about
the
name
of
Robinson
,
”
I
cried
.
“
It
’
s
quite
a
common
name
.
”
“
Ah
!
Sapristi
,
but
exactly
!
That
was
the
point
.
Elsa
Hardt
and
her
husband
,
or
brother
or
whatever
he
really
is
,
come
from
New
York
,
and
take
a
flat
in
the
name
of
Mr
.
and
Mrs
.
Robinson
.
Suddenly
they
learn
that
one
of
these
secret
societies
,
the
Mafia
,
or
the
Camorra
,
to
which
doubtless
Luigi
Valdarno
belonged
,
is
on
their
track
.
What
do
they
do
?
They
hit
on
a
scheme
of
transparent
simplicity
.
Evidently
they
knew
that
their
pursuers
were
not
personally
acquainted
with
either
of
them
.
What
then
can
be
simpler
?
They
offer
the
flat
at
an
absurdly
low
rental
.
Of
the
thousands
of
young
couples
in
London
looking
for
flats
,
there
cannot
fail
to
be
several
Robinsons
.
It
is
only
a
matter
of
waiting
.
If
you
will
look
at
the
name
of
Robinson
in
the
telephone
directory
,
you
will
realize
that
a
fair
-
haired
Mrs
.
Robinson
was
pretty
sure
to
come
along
sooner
or
later
.
Then
what
will
happen
?
The
avenger
arrives
.
He
knows
the
name
,
he
knows
the
address
.
He
strikes
!
All
is
over
,
vengeance
is
satisfied
,
and
Miss
Elsa
Hardt
has
escaped
by
the
skin
of
her
teeth
once
more
.
By
the
way
,
Hastings
,
you
must
present
me
to
the
real
Mrs
.
Robinson
—
that
delightful
and
truthful
creature
!
What
will
they
think
when
they
find
their
flat
has
been
broken
into
!
We
must
hurry
back
.
Ah
,
that
sounds
like
Japp
and
his
friends
arriving
.
