that in that language

"Felix Ruber" is "Red Fern".

You see, it is folly

to try and trick Hercule Poirot,

even in a dead language.

Do you think anyone's going to believe

the evidence of a couple of signatures?

And your bloody silly

word games?

Monsieur, if my modest assumptions

are too fanciful for you,

then perhaps a photograph

of a hiker and the mourning husband,

which must have appeared in local papers

and which I of course have sent for,

will be enough proof to hang you, sir.

You will be arrested for

the murder of Alice Ruber

and of Arlena Marshall.

But before that, there is a small favour

I would like to ask of you.

Would you smoke

the pipe

which has been conspicuous

by being unlit since you arrived here?

No?

Dommage.

As I thought.

Sir Horace, please be careful

to whom you give it next time.

My God, you're a wonder,

Poirot.

Yes?

Poor Monsieur Poirot.

Brave Monsieur Poirot.

I've just had a telephone call from His

Majesty and he is very pleased with...

The King of Tyrania?

He's very pleased with the matter being

cleared up so quickly and so discreetly.

He's so pleased that he's awarding you

the Order of St Gudrun the Inquisitive.

- St Gudrun the Inquisitive?

- First Class.

How many classes are there?
