his wife in his arms。 

    〃Perhaps you are right; Poirot;〃 I said gently。        〃Yes; it is the greatest 

thing in the world。〃 

    Suddenly; there was a tap at the door; and Cynthia peeped in。 

    〃II only〃 

    〃Come in;〃 I said; springing up。 

    She came in; but did not sit down。 

    〃Ionly wanted to tell you something〃 

    〃Yes?〃 

    Cynthia fidgeted with a little tassel for some moments; then; suddenly 

exclaiming: 〃You dears!〃 kissed first me and then Poirot; and rushed out 

of the room again。 

    〃What on earth does this mean?〃 I asked; surprised。 

    It was very nice to be kissed by Cynthia; but the publicity of the salute 

rather impaired the pleasure。 

    〃It means that she has discovered Monsieur Lawrence does not dislike 

her as much as she thought;〃 replied Poirot philosophically。 

    〃But〃 

    〃Here he is。〃 

    Lawrence at that moment passed the door。 

    〃Eh! Monsieur Lawrence;〃 called Poirot。          〃We must congratulate you; 

is it not so?〃 

    Lawrence blushed; and then smiled awkwardly。              A man in love is a 

sorry spectacle。    Now Cynthia had looked charming。 

    I sighed。 

    〃What is it; mon ami?〃

     〃Nothing;〃 I said sadly。     〃They are two delightful women!〃 

     〃And   neither   of   them   is   for   you?〃   finished   Poirot。 〃Never   mind。 

Console yourself; my friend。         We may hunt together again; who knows? 

And then〃
