For
the
Lord
’
s
sake
,
have
you
gone
completely
balmy
?
”
“
The
cat
,
”
declaimed
Poirot
,
“
was
worshipped
by
the
ancient
Egyptians
.
It
is
still
regarded
as
a
symbol
of
good
luck
if
a
black
cat
crosses
your
path
.
This
cat
crossed
your
path
to
-
night
,
Japp
.
To
speak
of
the
interior
of
any
animal
or
any
person
is
not
,
I
know
,
considered
polite
in
England
.
But
the
interior
of
this
cat
is
perfectly
delicate
.
I
refer
to
the
lining
.
”
With
a
sudden
grunt
,
the
second
man
seized
the
cat
from
Poirot
’
s
hand
.
“
Oh
,
I
forgot
to
introduce
you
,
”
said
Japp
.
“
Mr
.
Poirot
,
this
is
Mr
.
Burt
of
the
United
States
Secret
Service
.
”
The
American
’
s
trained
fingers
had
felt
what
he
was
looking
for
.
He
held
out
his
hand
,
and
for
a
moment
speech
failed
him
.
Then
he
rose
to
the
occasion
.
“
Pleased
to
meet
you
,
”
said
Mr
.
Burt
.
“
After
all
,
”
murmured
Poirot
,
“
it
is
possible
that
I
shall
not
die
this
time
.
”
Coming
from
a
convalescent
influenza
patient
,
I
hailed
the
remark
as
showing
a
beneficial
optimism
.
I
myself
had
been
the
first
sufferer
from
the
disease
.
Poirot
in
his
turn
had
gone
down
.
He
was
now
sitting
up
in
bed
,
propped
up
with
pillows
,
his
head
muffled
in
a
woollen
shawl
,
and
was
slowly
sipping
a
particularly
noxious
tisane
which
I
had
prepared
according
to
his
directions
.
His
eye
rested
with
pleasure
upon
a
neatly
graduated
row
of
medicine
bottles
which
adorned
the
mantelpiece
.
“
Yes
,
yes
,
”
my
little
friend
continued
.
“
Once
more
shall
I
be
myself
again
,
the
great
Hercule
Poirot
,
the
terror
of
evil
-
doers
!
Figure
to
yourself
,
mon
ami
,
that
I
have
a
little
paragraph
to
myself
in
Society
Gossip
.
But
yes
!
Here
it
is
!
‘
Go
it
—
criminals
—
all
out
!
Hercule
Poirot
—
and
believe
me
,
girls
,
he
’
s
some
Hercules
!
—
our
own
pet
society
detective
can
’
t
get
a
grip
on
you
.
’
Cause
why
?
’
Cause
he
’
s
got
la
grippe
himself
’
!
”
I
laughed
.
