+ Poirot was an extraordinary looking little man. He was hardly more
+ than five feet, four inches, but carried himself with great dignity.
+ His head was exactly the shape of an egg, and he always perched it
+ a little on one side. His moustache was very stiff and military.
+ The neatness of his attire was almost incredible. I believe a
+ speck of dust would have caused him more pain than a bullet wound.
+ Yet this quaint dandified little man who, I was sorry to see, now
+ limped badly, had been in his time one of the most celebrated members
+ of the Belgian police. As a detective, his flair had been extraordinary,
+ and he had achieved triumphs by unravelling some of the most baffling
+ cases of the day.
+ He pointed out to me the little house inhabited by him and his fellow
+ Belgians, and I promised to go and see him at an early date. Then he
+ raised his hat with a flourish to Cynthia, and we drove away.
+ "He's a dear little man," said Cynthia. "I'd no idea you knew him."
+ "You've been entertaining a celebrity unawares," I replied.
+ And, for the rest of the way home, I recited to them the various
+ exploits and triumphs of Hercule Poirot.
