Quotes 

• Mrs Mallaby : [stepping out of a taxi]  Mr Poirot!

  Hercule Poirot : Ah, Madame Mallaby!

  Mrs Mallaby : Captain Hastings, we meet again. I wonder, could you...

  [passing a pile of hat boxes] 

  Captain Hastings : Of course.

  Mrs Mallaby : Oh, I couldn't decide on my outer look. Anyway, Eustace can afford it. He is Viscount Cronshaw now.

  Taxi Driver : One and six quid.

  Captain Hastings : Oh.

  [reaching his pocket] 

  Mrs Mallaby : To what do we owe this delegation?

  Captain Hastings : Well, Mr Poirot has taken into his head to see these famous figurines.

  Mrs Mallaby : Oh.

  Hercule Poirot : A foolish whim.

  Mrs Mallaby : Is His Highness at home, Samuelson?

  Butler : Yes, His Lordship is in the morning room, madam.

  Mrs Mallaby : Thank you. This way, gang.
