Poirot is investigating
I
was
standing
at
the
window
of
Poirot
’
s
rooms
looking
out
idly
on
the
street
below
.
“
That
’
s
queer
,
”
I
ejaculated
suddenly
beneath
my
breath
.
“
What
is
,
mon
ami
?
”
asked
Poirot
placidly
,
from
the
depths
of
his
comfortable
chair
.
“
Deduce
,
Poirot
,
from
the
following
facts
!
Here
is
a
young
lady
,
richly
dressed
—
fashionable
hat
,
magnificent
furs
.
She
is
coming
along
slowly
,
looking
up
at
the
houses
as
she
goes
.
Unknown
to
her
,
she
is
being
shadowed
by
three
men
and
a
middle
-
aged
woman
.
They
have
just
been
joined
by
an
errand
boy
who
points
after
the
girl
,
gesticulating
as
he
does
so
.
What
drama
is
this
being
played
?
Is
the
girl
a
crook
,
and
are
the
shadowers
detectives
preparing
to
arrest
her
?
Or
are
they
the
scoundrels
,
and
are
they
plotting
to
attack
an
innocent
victim
?
What
does
the
great
detective
say
?
”
“
The
great
detective
,
mon
ami
,
chooses
,
as
ever
,
the
simplest
course
.
He
rises
to
see
for
himself
.
”
And
my
friend
joined
me
at
the
window
.
In
a
minute
he
gave
vent
to
an
amused
chuckle
.
“
As
usual
,
your
facts
are
tinged
with
your
incurable
romanticism
.
That
is
Miss
Mary
Marvell
,
the
film
star
.
She
is
being
followed
by
a
bevy
of
admirers
who
have
recognized
her
.
And
,
en
passant
,
my
dear
Hastings
,
she
is
quite
aware
of
the
fact
!
”
I
laughed
.
“
So
all
is
explained
!
But
you
get
no
marks
for
that
,
Poirot
.
It
was
a
mere
matter
of
recognition
.
