I
know
Melrose
fairly
well
,
and
I
introduced
Poirot
to
him
and
explained
the
situation
.
The
chief
constable
was
clearly
vexed
,
and
Inspector
Raglan
looked
as
black
as
thunder
.
Davis
,
however
,
seemed
slightly
exhilarated
by
the
sight
of
his
superior
officer
’
s
annoyance
.
"
The
case
is
going
to
be
plain
as
a
pikestaff
,
"
said
Raglan
.
"
Not
the
least
need
for
amateurs
to
come
butting
in
.
You
’
d
think
any
fool
would
have
seen
the
way
things
were
last
night
,
and
then
we
shouldn
’
t
have
lost
twelve
hours
.
"
He
directed
a
vengeful
glance
at
poor
Davis
,
who
received
it
with
perfect
stolidity
.
"
Mr
.
Ackroyd
’
s
family
must
,
of
course
,
do
what
they
see
fit
,
"
said
Colonel
Melrose
.
"
But
we
cannot
have
the
official
investigation
hampered
in
any
way
.
I
know
M
.
Poirot
’
s
great
reputation
,
of
course
,
"
he
added
courteously
.
"
The
police
can
’
t
advertise
themselves
,
worse
luck
,
"
said
Raglan
.
It
was
Poirot
who
saved
the
situation
.
"
It
is
true
that
I
have
retired
from
the
world
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
never
intended
to
take
up
a
case
again
.
Above
all
things
,
I
have
a
horror
of
publicity
.
I
must
beg
,
that
in
the
case
of
my
being
able
to
contribute
something
to
the
solution
of
the
mystery
,
my
name
may
not
be
mentioned
.
"
Inspector
Raglan
’
s
face
lightened
a
little
.
"
I
’
ve
heard
of
some
very
remarkable
successes
of
yours
,
"
observed
the
colonel
,
thawing
.
"
I
have
had
much
experience
,
"
said
Poirot
quietly
.
"
But
most
of
my
successes
have
been
obtained
by
the
aid
of
the
police
.
I
admire
enormously
your
English
police
.
If
Inspector
Raglan
permits
me
to
assist
him
,
I
shall
be
both
honoured
and
flattered
.
"
The
inspector
’
s
countenance
became
still
more
gracious
.
