Police Constable : Who are you?
Hercule Poirot : I am Hercule Poirot. Who are you?
Police Constable : [Calling over his shoulder] Sarge? There's some French gent at the door.
Hercule Poirot : No no no, I am not some French gent, I am some *Belgian* gent.
Police Sergeant : Well well well, if it isn't Mr Poirot.
Hercule Poirot : It is. Is the lady of the house in?
Police Sergeant : The chief inspector's here.
Mrs. Ernestine Todd : [from the window] Mr Poirot!
Hercule Poirot : Ah! Mrs Todd, good morn...
Mrs. Ernestine Todd : I don't know how you have the impertance to show your face here again.
Hercule Poirot : But Mrs Todd...
Mrs. Ernestine Todd : You were paid off, Mr Poirot, you were paid off handsomely.
Hercule Poirot : Well...
Mrs. Ernestine Todd : And now, look at this, you've got policemen crawling all over the house!
Chief Inspector Japp : You're not too popular in Clapham this morning, Poirot. Bit of a wild goose chase, this. As far as we can ascertain, this Mr Simpson of yours is a perfectly respectable young bank employee, who happens to have gone home to his family. We have the Shropshire Constabulary checking that at the moment.
Hercule Poirot : I only wanted to ask...
Mrs. Ernestine Todd : No!
Hercule Poirot : Well, perhaps you'd be interested to know...
Mrs. Ernestine Todd : No, I wouldn't! Good day, Mr Poirot!
[Shuts the window. Poirot starts to say something]
Chief Inspector Japp : Poirot.
[Shuts the door in Poirot's face]
