“
So
that
’
s
the
way
your
enthusiasm
runs
!
You
would
have
liked
to
cross
swords
with
the
man
who
sneaked
the
Liberty
Bonds
?
”
The
landlady
interrupted
us
.
“
A
young
lady
as
wants
to
see
you
,
Mr
.
Poirot
.
Here
’
s
her
card
.
”
The
card
bore
the
inscription
:
Miss
Esmée
Farquhar
,
and
Poirot
,
after
diving
under
the
table
to
retrieve
a
stray
crumb
,
and
putting
it
carefully
in
the
waste
-
paper
-
basket
,
nodded
to
the
landlady
to
admit
her
.
In
another
minute
one
of
the
most
charming
girls
I
have
ever
seen
was
ushered
into
the
room
.
She
was
perhaps
about
five
-
and
-
twenty
,
with
big
brown
eyes
and
a
perfect
figure
.
She
was
well
-
dressed
and
perfectly
composed
in
manner
.
“
Sit
down
,
I
beg
of
you
,
mademoiselle
.
This
is
my
friend
,
Captain
Hastings
,
who
aids
me
in
my
little
problems
.
”
“
I
am
afraid
it
is
a
big
problem
I
have
brought
you
to
-
day
,
Monsieur
Poirot
,
”
said
the
girl
,
giving
me
a
pleasant
bow
as
she
seated
herself
.
“
I
dare
say
you
have
read
about
it
in
the
papers
.
I
am
referring
to
the
theft
of
Liberty
Bonds
on
the
Olympia
.
”
Some
astonishment
must
have
shown
itself
in
Poirot
’
s
face
,
for
she
continued
quickly
:
“
You
are
doubtless
asking
yourself
what
I
have
to
do
with
a
grave
institution
like
the
London
and
Scottish
Bank
.
In
one
sense
nothing
,
in
another
sense
everything
.
You
see
,
Monsieur
Poirot
,
I
am
engaged
to
Mr
.
Philip
Ridgeway
.
”
“
Aha
!
and
Mr
.
Philip
Ridgeway
—
—
”
“
Was
in
charge
of
the
bonds
when
they
were
stolen
.
Of
course
no
actual
blame
can
attach
to
him
,
it
was
not
his
fault
in
any
way
.
Nevertheless
,
he
is
half
distraught
over
the
matter
,
and
his
uncle
,
I
know
,
insists
that
he
must
carelessly
have
mentioned
having
them
in
his
possession
.
It
is
a
terrible
set
-
back
in
his
career
.
