One must accept these vagaries of Nature's with fortitude

Pleased to meet you, M. Poirot.
On your way to the Royal Enclosure at Ascot? No? My mistake.
I am flattered. One hopes to present a good appearance. It is even more important, when one has few natural advantages.

Harold recounted the story...
Curse them! Damn them for a pair of devilish blood-sucking harpies!

...The whole thing comes out. My career's ruined, and a wretched girl who's never done anyone any harm will be put through hell, and God knows what the end of it all will be!
Therefore, something must be done!It is the moment for the castanets of bronze.
Are you quite mad?
Mais non! I strive only to follow the example of my great predecessor, Hercules. Have a few hours' patience, my friend. By tomorrow I may be able to deliver you from your persecutors.

I REALLY do apologise for intruding | like this, M. Poirot. You do remember don't you?
I remember you as one of the most successful criminals that I have ever encountered!
Oh dear me, M. Poirot, must you really say such things ? You were so kind to me. Emily and I often talk about you, and if we see anything about you in the paper we cut it out at once and paste it in a book. As for Augustus, we have taught him a new trick. We say, "Die for Sherlock Holmes, die for Mr. Fortune, die for Sir Henry Merrivale, and then die for M. Hercule Poirot" and he goes down and lies like a log—lies absolutely still without moving until we say the word!

You are, madame, so perfectly armoured, so completely sure of yourself.
Now I wonder, if I am to take that as acompliment? Dear M. Poirot, I do wish you all success. Thank you for all the charming things you have said to me.
You wish me success, do you? Ah, but you are very sure I am not going to meet with success! Yes, you are very sure indeed. That, it annoys me very much.
