Hercule Poirot was expecting a visit from his friend Mrs Ariadne Oliver, the novelist. There was something, it seemed, that she wanted to ask him. He wondered why she sounded so doubtful about what she was doing. Was she bringing him some difficult problem? Or was she acquainting him with a crime? As Poirot knew well, it could be anything with Mrs Oliver! The most commonplace things or the most extraordinary things were all alike to her.
