"Poirot, let us forsake the science of detection, and take to crime instead!" "You are on the---how do you say it?---get-rich-quick tack, eh, mon ami?" "Well, look at this last coup, the million dollars' worth of Liberty Bonds which the London and Scottish Bank were sending to New York, and which disappeared in such a remarkable manner on board the Olympia." "If it were not for the mal de mer, and the difficulty of practicing the so excellent method of Laverguier for a longer time than the few hours of crossing the channel, I should delight to voyage myself on one of these big liners," murmured Poirot dreamily. "Yes, indeed," I said enthusiastically. "Some of them must be perfect palaces; the swimming baths, the lounges, the restaurant, the palm courts---really, it must be hard to believe that one is on the sea." "Me, I always know when I am on the sea," said Poirot sadly. "And all those bagatelles that you enumerate, they saw nothing to me; but, my friend, consider for a moment the geniuses that travel as it were incognito! On board these floating palaces, as you so justly call them, one would meet the elite, the haute noblesse of the criminal world!" I laughed. "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 inte rrupted us. "A young lady wants to see you, Mr. Poirot. Here's her card." We agreed to this suggestion readily enough, and drove there in a taxi. Mr. Philip Ridgeway was there before us, and looked somewhat surprised to see his fiancee arriving with two complete strangers. He was a nice-looking young fellow, tall and spruce, with a touch of graying hair at the temples, though he could not have been much over thirty. Miss Farquhar went up to him and laid her hand on his arm. "You must forgive my acting without consulting you, Philip," she said. "Let me introduce you to Monsieur Hercule Poirot, of whom you must often have heard, and his friend, Captain Hastings." Ridgeway looked very astonished. "Of course I have heard of you, Monsieur Poirot," he said, as he shook hands. "But I had no idea that Esmee was thinking of consulting you about my-our trouble." "Do not enrage yourself, Hastings. In verity, I observe that there are times when you almost detest me! Alas, I suffer the penalties of greatness!" The little man puffed out his chest, and sighed so comically that I was forced to laugh. Tuesday saw us speeding to Liverpool in a first-class carriage of the L. & N. W. R. Poirot had obstinately refused to enlighten me as to his suspicions-or certainties. He contented himself with expressing surprise that I, too, was not equally au fait with the situation. I disdained to argue, and intrenched my curiosity behind a rampart of pretended indifference.
