Hercule
Poirot
,
who
had
selected
unerringly
the
case
of
all
others
that
would
most
appeal
to
an
elderly
lady
living
in
a
small
village
.
932
"
Did
he
tell
you
if
the
dancer
was
really
a
Grand
Duchess
?
"
I
inquired
.
933
"
He
was
not
at
liberty
to
speak
,
"
said
Caroline
importantly
.

I
wondered
how
far
Poirot
had
strained
the
truth
in
talking
to
Caroline
–
probably
not
at
all
.
He
had
conveyed
his
innuendoes
by
means
of
his
eyebrows
and
his
shoulders
.
935
"
And
after
all
this
,
"
I
remarked
,
"
I
suppose
you
were
ready
to
eat
out
of
his
hand
?
"
"
Don
’
t
be
coarse
,
James
.
I
don
’
t
know
where
you
get
these
vulgar
expressions
from
.
"
"
Probably
from
my
only
link
with
the
outside
world
–
my
patients
.
Unfortunately
,
my
practice
does
not
lie
amongst
Royal
princes
and
interesting
Russian
emigres
.
"
Caroline
pushed
her
spectacles
up
and
looked
at
me
.
936
"
You
seem
very
grumpy
,
James
.
It
must
be
your
liver
.
A
blue
pill
,
I
think
,
tonight
.
"
To
see
me
in
my
own
home
,
you
would
never
imagine
that
I
was
a
doctor
of
medicine
.
Caroline
does
the
home
prescribing
both
for
herself
and
me
.
937
"
Damn
my
liver
,
"
I
said
irritably
.
"
Did
you
talk
about
the
murder
at
all
?
"
"
Well
,
naturally
,
James
.
What
else
is
there
to
talk
about
locally
?
I
was
able
to
set
M
.
Poirot
straight
upon
several
points
.
He
was
very
grateful
to
me
.
He
said
I
had
the
makings
of
a
born
detective
in
me
–
and
a
wonderful
Psychological
insight
into
human
nature
.
"
Caroline
was
exactly
like
a
cat
that
is
full
to
overflowing
with
rich
cream
.

She
was
positively
purring
.
939
"
He
talked
a
lot
about
the
little
grey
cells
of
the
brain
,
and
of
their
functions
.
His
own
,
he
says
,
are
of
the
first
quality
.
"
"
He
would
say
so
,
"
I
remarked
bitterly
.
"
Modesty
is
certainly
not
his
middle
name
.
"
"
I
wish
you
wouldn
’
t
be
so
horribly
American
,
James
.
He
thought
it
very
important
that
Ralph
should
be
found
as
soon
as
possible
,
and
induced
to
come
forward
and
give
an
account
of
himself
.
He
says
that
his
disappearance
will
produce
a
very
unfortunate
impression
at
the
inquest
.
"
"
And
what
did
you
say
to
that
?
"
"
I
agreed
with
him
,
"
said
Caroline
importantly
.
"
And
I
was
able
to
tell
him
the
way
people
were
talking
already
about
it
.
"
"
Caroline
,
"
I
said
sharply
,
"
did
you
tell
M
.
Poirot
what
you
overheard
in
the
wood
that
day
?
"
"
I
did
,
"
said
Caroline
complacently
.

I
got
up
and
began
to
walk
about
.
