CHAPTER I
Hercule Poirot came out of the Vieille Grand'mere restaurant into Soho. He turned up the collar of his overcoat through prudence, rather than necessity, since the night was not cold. 'But at my age, one takes no risks,' Poirot was wont to declare.
His eyes held a reflective sleepy pleasure. The Escargots de la Vieille Grand'mere had been delicious. A real find, this dingy little restaurant. Meditatively, like a well-fed dog, Hercule Poirot curled his tongue round his lips. Drawing his handkerchief from his pocket, he dabbed his luxuriant moustaches.
Yes, he had dined well And now what?
A taxi, passing him, slowed down invitingly. Poirot hesitated for a moment, but made no sign. Why take a taxi? He would in any case reach home too early to go to bed.
'Alas,' murmured Poirot to his moustaches, 'that one can only eat three times a day
For afternoon tea was a meal to which he had never become acclimatized. 'If one partakes of the five o'clock, one does not,' he explained, 'approach the dinner with the proper quality of expectant gastric juices. And the dinner, let us remember, is the supreme meal of the day!'
Not for him, either, the mid-momihg coffee. No, chocolate and croissants for breakfast. Déjeuner at twelve-thirty if possible but certainly not later than one o'clock, and finally the climax : Le Dîner !
These were the peak periods of Hercule Poirot's day. Always a man who had taken his stomach seriously, he was reaping his reward in old age. Eating was now not only a physical pleasure, it was also an intellectual research.

Agatha Christie (1890‒1976) angol írónő, „a krimi koronázatlan királynője”, akinek a nevét az egész világ ismeri. Több mint száz regényt, elbeszélést, színdarabot és rádiójátékot írt. Könyveit milliárdos példányszámban olvassák a világ összes nyelvén, ezzel ő a világirodalom legolvasottabb szerzője, William Shakespeare mellett. Színpadi darabja, a The Mousetrap (Egérfogó) tartja az első előadást követően leghosszabb időn át játszott előadás rekordját, elsőként 1952-ben mutatták be az Ambassadors Theatre-ben Londonban, és még ma is játsszák. Mary Westmacott álnéven romantikus-lélektani regényeket is írt, melyek igazi irodalmi csemegének számítanak.
