"Churston,Devon,"I read,"from Paddington 20miles.Population 656.Itsounds a fairly small place.Surely our man will be bound to be noticedthere." "Even so,another life will have been taken,"murmured Poirot."What arethe trains?I imagine train will be quicker than car." "There's a midnight train-sleeping car to Newton Abbot-gets there 6.8am,and them Churston at 7.15." "That is from Paddington?" "Paddington,yes." "We will take that,Hastings." "You'll hardly have time to get news before we start." "If we receive bad news tonight or tomorrow morning does it matterwhich?"

"There's something in that." I put a few things together in a suitcase while Poirot once more rang upScotland Yard. A few minutes later he came into the bedroom and demanded: "Mais qu'est ce que vous faites la?" "I was packing for you.I thought it would save time." "Vous eprouvez trop d'emotion,Hastings.It affects your hands and yourwits.Is that a way to fold a coat?And regard what you have done to mypyjamas.If the hairwash breaks what will befall them?" "Good heavens,Poirot,"I cried,"this is a matter of life and death. What does it matter what happens to our clothes?" "You have no sense of proportion,Hastings.We cannot catch a trainearlier than the time that it leaves,and to ruin one's clothes will not bethe least helpful in preventing a murder."
