It
is
that
there
are
moments
when
a
great
longing
for
my
friend
Hastings
comes
over
me
.
That
is
the
friend
of
whom
I
spoke
to
you
–
the
one
who
resides
now
in
the
Argentine
.
Always
,
when
I
have
had
a
big
case
,
he
has
been
by
my
side
.
And
he
has
helped
me
–
yes
,
often
he
has
helped
me
.
For
he
had
a
knack
,
that
one
,
of
stumbling
over
the
truth
unawares
–
without
noticing
it
himself
,
bien
entendu
.
At
times
,
he
has
said
something
particularly
foolish
,
and
behold
that
foolish
remark
has
revealed
the
truth
to
me
!
And
then
,
too
,
it
was
his
practice
to
keep
a
written
record
of
the
cases
that
proved
interesting
.
"
I
gave
a
slightly
embarrassed
cough
.
"
As
far
as
that
goes
,
"
I
began
,
and
then
stopped
.
Poirot
sat
upright
in
his
chair
.
His
eyes
sparkled
.
"
But
yes
?
What
is
it
that
you
would
say
?
"
"
Well
,
as
a
matter
of
fact
,
I
’
ve
read
some
of
Captain
Hastings
’
s
narratives
,
and
I
thought
,
why
not
try
my
hand
at
something
of
the
same
kind
.
Seemed
a
pity
not
to
unique
opportunity
–
probably
the
only
time
I
’
ll
be
mixed
up
with
anything
of
this
kind
.
"
I
felt
myself
getting
hotter
and
hotter
,
and
more
and
more
incoherent
,
as
I
floundered
through
the
above
speech
.
Poirot
sprang
from
his
chair
.
I
had
a
moment
’
s
terror
that
he
was
going
to
embrace
me
French
fashion
,
but
mercifully
he
refrained
.
"
But
this
is
magnificent
–
you
have
then
written
down
your
impressions
of
the
case
as
you
went
along
?
"
I
nodded
.
"
Epatant
!
"
cried
Poirot
.
"
Let
me
see
them
–
this
instant
.
"
I
was
not
quite
prepared
for
such
a
sudden
demand
.
I
racked
my
brains
to
remember
certain
details
.
"
I
hope
you
won
’
t
mind
,
"
I
stammered
.
"
I
may
have
been
a
little
–
er
–
personal
now
and
then
.
"
"
Oh
!
I
comprehend
perfectly
;
you
have
referred
to
me
as
comic
–
as
,
perhaps
,
ridiculous
now
and
then
?
It
matters
not
at
all
.
Hastings
,
he
also
was
not
always
polite
.
Me
,
I
have
the
mind
above
such
trivialities
.
"
Still
somewhat
doubtful
,
I
rummaged
in
the
drawers
of
my
desk
and
produced
an
untidy
pile
of
manuscript
which
I
handed
over
to
him
.
With
an
eye
on
possible
publication
in
the
future
,
I
had
divided
the
work
into
chapters
,
and
the
night
before
I
had
brought
it
up
to
date
with
an
account
of
Miss
Russell
’
s
visit
.
Poirot
had
therefore
twenty
chapters
.
